    Home-made toys
    The children and even the grown-ups long ago used to enjoy themselves with their home-made toys much better than they do at present. The winter nights was their favourite period for making them. Tops were made from thread-spools. The spool was split in the centre. Then a piece of stick was driven through the hole. One end of the stick was left longer than the other.
