Homemade Toys

Share Share Post

Some children make a hobby of toy-making. I have often seen boys getting a large round turnip and drawing out a man's head and face on it. Then with a penknife and a large spoon the inside of the turnip is cut and scooped away until only the skin remains. Then with paint and a piece of black burnt stick the mouth, eyes and nose are outlined.
