- (continued from previous page)that can be home made is a "yo-yo". It is made with two buttons a match and a long piece of twine. You break the match in halves and put a button on each end. Then you wind the twine round the match between the buttons and then the "yo-yo" is made.
Another toy can be made out of the bottom of a match box. The way it is made is to to put three small holes half-ways into the box. Then you get three small ball bearings and you try to get them into the holes.
