- There are a lot of children who can make toys nowadays but I can make plenty of them.
I can make a doll a daisy chain and a bangle. How to make a doll is :- to get a piece of cloth and out chaff in it and then sew it up. Next get a piece of wood, shape it round, cut out her eyes, nose and mouth. To make a daisy-chain or a bangle you get a lot of daisies and put a hole in each stem to cling them together. When it is long enough you have a nice belt.- Collector
