Some children will enjoy half an hour‘s play each day for the entire winter, with a box of toothpicks. I would not advise this, however, if the child can not be taught to gather up the toothpicks after playing with them each time. Farms may be laid out, fences built, and even a house and barn added by the use of these little sticks. If you happen to have dye mixed for some other purpose and will dip a few of the toothpicks in the dye fuid, it will add wonderfuily to the attractiveness of them for tha children‘s playthings, as it is natural for children to love bright objects. Mother‘s clothespins may also be used in the same way.
