Biting donkey
This wooden donkey or horse
with a clothes-pin head is fun to
make and to play with.
It can also be used as a note or
reminder holder. Perhaps disabled
children at the rehabilitation center can
make this to sell for pocket money.
Trace the donkey onto a piece of wood
about as thick as the clothes-pin (1 cm).
Cut it out with a jig saw. Also make a base,
as shown. Sand pieces smooth and glue
together.

Climbing bear
Cut a pattern of the bear out of a wood
board about 2 cm. (3/4 inch) thick.
Drill holes through
the arms at the size
and angle shown
here.
Hang a stick from the roof or a tree limb.
Tie cords or leather
thongs tightly to the
ends of the stick and
pass them through the
arm holes of the bear.
Notch the stick
so that knots
will not slip.
Be sure the cord
passes through the
notches in the feet.
Notch the ends of
the feet so the cord
can slide through
the notch.
Disabled village Children
By pulling one cord and then
the other, the bear will climb
the ropes! Children love it!
Good for developing use of
both hands together.
