    The principal toys made in this district are daisy chains, Dodge balls, snares and cribs for catching birds.
    DAISY CHAIN;
    A daisy chain is made of daisies. A hole is made in the stem of a daisy near the end and the stem n' stalk of the neck of the daisy is threaded through the hole.Then a hole is placed in the stem of that daisy and so on until chain is finished. Children use the chain for necklaces.
