This must be just above the stage, and wide and long, you see,

The actor dolls, held in the wings, can enter easily.

You move the thread and walk them round. Mine act all kinds of things:

The fairy stories that I know; my sailor doll, here, sings.

And you can use the theater for fun in lots of ways:

Give lectures on the postal views as well as acting plays.


HOW TO MAKE A TOY MERRY-GO-ROUND

Material Required to Make a Toy Merry-go-round: two round bandbox covers, or the two halves of some large round box, a sheet of penny cut-out pictures of horses or animals, and a cardboard mailing-tube or a hoop-stick.

Everyone may own a merry-go-round. It is made from two large round bandbox covers and a mailing-tube. You will also need some pictures of animals or horses to use on the merry-go-round. Four or five animals are enough to use. A small box will require less.
