- There are many home-made toys which children still make, namely, rabbit snares, hare snares, bows and arrows, kites and traps.People long ago made a lot of things for amusement.The children long ago made lanterns from turnips. They also made birds cages.The article I am going to describe is a bow and arrow. When you are going to make a bow and arrow, first of all, get a cord and tie it to both ends of a sally rod. Then get a stick, shape it into an arrow. When you want to shoot the arrow from the bow, catch the end of the arrow and pull the arrow towards you and then let go.James Garvey, Baltray, Drogheda
