Many clever and useful articles were made during this time. The boys’ first project was that of sawing out and painting toy animals. These animals were fastened to carts of original design made from cigar boxes. After the boys became accustomed to the use of the coping saws, they were allowed to make more difficult things, such as, paper knives, parrots, dress hangers, doorstops, Dutch boy and girl designs were used for many of the articles. Through this work the boys gained skill in the use of hammer, saw, and paint brushes. The girls made many interesting things also. Blocks for pillow tops were embroidered and then set to¬ gether with bright pink, yellow and blue materials. They made pretty vases by pasting bright colored papers on glass bottles and s’chellacing them. Several girls worked together in making a nine patch quilt top from bright pink, blue and yellow gingham. The top was sold and the money used to buy other sewing supplies. Cloth animals and dolls embroider¬ ed and stuffed made clever tops.
