- We often make toys for ourselves, from a rag-doll to a turnip lantern. To make a rag-doll you (must) would want a piece of calico, wool, and bran or saw-dust. You would stuff the body, arms and legs with the bran, use the wool for hair, and make the eyes and eyelashes and mouth with coloured crayons or pencil.
- My brothers often make (tee-tom-toe-toms). Put a piece of stick through an empty reel and shape it.
