  2. Tops

    Tops
    Tops are made by the boys from old spools. One end is whittled down with a knife until it is pear-shaped. A short pointed stick is pushed through the hole in the spool and the top is made to spin by finger and thumb and kept spinning by using a whip made from hard cord.

    History Edit

  3. Daisy Chains

    Share Share Post
    Made by girls from daisies. They bore a small hole in the stem of a daisy & push another stem through that hole. They pierce a hole in the second stem, & thread another daisy through it. The third & fourth & all the other stems are similarily pierced until the end. They then thread the last stem through the first and wear the chain as a necklace.
