Flower-Pot (Can, ivory paints, brush)
Paint an empty can with green or brown ivory paint and use as flower-pot for growing plant. Children love to handle a paint-brush, and this offers a legitimate occasion for such occupation. A small hole should be punched in bottom of can for drainage.
Hanging-Basket (Can, nail, hammer, cord, raffia)
Punch holes for suspending as described above. Then make a covering of raffia as explained on page 46 and hang up by the cord.
Wheels (Covers of baking-powder tins, nail, hammer)
With the nail, hammer a hole through the centre of the cover, placing upon a stone step or other brace. The little wheels may be used to complete toy wagons that the child is making.
TIN FOIL
Toy Dishes (Tin foil from cream-cheese wrappers, etc.)
Take the tin foil, and by simple squeezing and pressing and shaping, a little practice will enable one to make it into tiny pitchers, goblets, pans, etc., for dolly's table.
Toy Mirror (Tin foil, scissors)
