    Daisy-chain: A large bunch of daisies are gathered. All the players help to take the stalks from the daisies. A piece of grass is put through the heads of the daisies until a large chain is made. The chain is used to decorate dolls and children. Little children love to parade round with daisies round their necks.
    Lanterns: The middle of a turnip is all taken out leaving only the thin skin. Eyes, a nose and a mouth is cut out and a candle is put inside. The lights are all put out and the lantern is hung up. It looks very funny in the dark.
