These lean also be used for many other |purposes. One set of blocks |were painted red and green; the others were building blocks of different sizes and were sand- papered and shellaced. A form of tinker toy, very in- expensive and simple, were made by stringing brightly hued spools on string. Four comfcrtable, jsubstantial chairs attractive, were made with pretty cretonne. These may be used in any child’s play |house for the child to occupy. These are so complete that one jhas its footstool. A number of ring toss games were made as was Dad’s puz- zle. Stuffed animals were made from oil-cloth and stockings. Three large one-raom doll houses were made and furnish- ed. The material used for the houses was soft wood or beaver board. The walls were painted or papered, window curtains were made for the windows, and a set of furniture and a rug was in each house. Beside the fur- niture in the houses separate pieces of doll furniture were made. A three piece living {room suite, a table, two large doll beds with mattresses, sheets, spreads, pollows and ev- en dolls, and a_ small trundle bed. This latter was made of a cigar box, four spools, for legs and four wood clothes pins for ' posts. Many attractive picture books were made, the pictures being collected, but being the kind children are interested in. The total cost of the toys was very small, paint being the largest.
