Nowadays kids playing times are entirely full of sitting and 'hand keyed' to their PC key board! Whatever they seem to claim.. .the fun... educational.., herewith are some of my childhood DIY goodies. Either ideas for DIY start off kits/projects or simply ponder your memorable childhood playing gadgets.
Childhood DIY stuff:
 |
| Playing or fooling around? |
1. Wooden rifle or pistol complete with sling, catapult with clip as bullet driver using wild seed as bullet.
We used to play mock battle drill among friends.
2. Bow and arrow made of bamboo. The arrow tail using chicken feather. We never missed practice by arrowing banana stems... and for sure the farmer really go 'bananas' on us he..hee.
3. Yacht. The body or hull made of unused rubber slipper while the sailer using big dried leave. Normally sailing launched during flood time. So watched out your slippers...
4. Smoking pipe. Made of beetle nut and bamboo straw. To have a puff you got to sneak out from the elders. As long as you stick to 'tobacco only' its alright...
To be continued..
