To fasten the horses to the shafts, punch a hole through three of them at X ([Fig. 143]) and slip each one over a shaft, then tack the other three horses to the ends of these shafts at the point X. To fasten the sleighs to the remaining shafts, glue one end of a piece of paper to the back of the front seat and the other end around the shaft ([Fig. 145]).
The Girl Riders for the sleighs are shown full size in [Fig. 146], and
The Boy Riders for the horses are shown full size in [Fig. 147]. Make tracings from the patterns as you made that of the horse and prepare four girls and six boys. Paint their clothes in bright colors. Cut a second leg for each boy rider, so he can be made to sit astride of his horse, and glue the leg to his hip as shown in [Fig. 148]. Cut a slit in each seat of the sleigh and stick the flaps on the girl riders in them.
