- Long ago people in Ireland made their own toys. They made little wooden carts from pieces of wood. They also made wooded horses to draw them. They made tops from spools. They also make little wooden stools and chairs. Little girls used make a chain of daisies or a chain of beads and boys made toy guns from elder stick.
