s from the stores.And fasteners, bright and strong; Ruler and knife and scissors, too.Will help your work along. PAPER BOX FURNITURE 27 TO GIRLS. Dont think this works for ioys alone, For thats not really true;It surely is as girlish fun As anything you do. Of course, when boys have made the toys,Theyll give them right away; But girls, when they have finished theirs,Will sit right down and play. You also may designers be, Makers and painters as well,And in your dainty workmanship May even the boys excel. But theres one thing that girls can do. Which boys wont undertake,That is, the attractive little things With needle and thread to make. So get your boxes and fasteners strong,And sewing materials youll need, And then your playhouse, when tis done.Will be unique indeed. 28 WHEN MOTHER LETS US MAKE MAXIKG THE BED.
