Unit 8. Making Things. 1. Toys you make

[Isabel]

When I was a child we made flutes. We made by cutting the wild reeds. Then we made three or four holes, with a knife on one face, and another one behind. They really had a good sound!

When I was a child I loved making fortune tellers with my friends. We made them by using paper and colours pencils. Once you cut out a paper into the shape of a square, fold in half this piece of paper differents times. Then you write the numbers in each side by using differents colours. The most important thing was the message you put it inside. You had to be sure that you had to cut out it correctly so that the fortune teller couldn’t move with your fingers. Then a friend moved it with her finger by singing a song. I said the word “stop” and chose a number. It was amazing when you listened a luckily message. It was really fun.

Hi Isabel,

By reading your message about flutes I remembered that I used wild reeds for making toys. But I always played with my brothers and we didn't make flutes. We cut will reeds to make pipes to become American Indians smoking their pipes.
