  1. Homemade Toys

    Share Share Post
    Girls string flowers together into a chain and wear it round their necks.
    Boys make tops and spinners out of spools they make bird cradles out of elder branches. They make guns out of bottree and snares out of wire for catching rabbits.
    These amusements are still carried on among young children. These games are taught by the elderly people to them.
