- When boys and girls are small they delight in making toys.
Girls make a doll from a potato. They cut it and put half of it in a stocking, and tie at the bottom. That forms the head. They colour it with chalk to make the eyes, mouth and nose. The other half makes the body. They tie sticks at both sides for hands. They tie sticks for the feet. Boys make a care from a card board box and lids of polish boxes.
