A toymaker is a person who makes toys – a person like you.
Children like you are among the best toymaker in the world. You may know toys are as much fun to make as they are to play with. All you need is your imagination and a few odds and ends.
A big box can be an ocean liner sailing over the sea or a spaceship landing on the moon.
Bits of cloth and cardboard can be puppets in a play. Pieces of wood float like little boats or puddles and ponds. If you have an old tyre, a rope, and a tree, you can make a swing!
Everywhere, children make toys from things around them. In Bermuda, children make dolls from banana stalks and nuts. In the West African country of Ivory Coast, they make dolls from clumps of grass and roots. In the U.S.A., kids make dolls out of cornhusks.
Mexican children turn cornhusks into toy donkeys. In India, children mould elephants, water buffaloes, and tigers out of clay. In the Solomon Islands, boys use large nuts to make twirling tops.
