- 5. "Paper Dolls."
Paper dolls were made with paper by getting a ball of paper as a head and another for the body and making the legs and arms with sticks. 6. "Boating in a Tub."
We get a Tub and a Stick. We put the stick down in the mud and keep oaring the tub like a boat We must keep still inside in the tub or the tub would capsize and we would be wet.
