There are times when you feel that there is nothing to do. During such times, you can try your hand at making things. Take an old sock or glove. Stuff it with scraps of cloth, wool or sponge. Keep stuffing the sock till it becomes firm. After that, put a broom into the sock heel. Then tie a string around the bottom of the sock so that the broom handle may not move. Make mane using wool or strings. Use buttons to make eyes. Your hobby horse is ready to play with you. You can also make puppets in this way.
