MAKE'A PRUNE ZOO
HJSceoaisM^w,betl"-.
Have you ever discovered that you can make amusing .animals for the v party table out of prunes, toothpicks, and raisins?
To make them you must get some fat, shiny prunes, some seeded raisins, toothpicks, puffed rice, and 'common, uncooked- rice. For making the Gollypog man you will need one large prune for his body, two or three raisins pressed together for his head, four more raisins for feet and hands. Put them together with toothpicks, press a puffed rice grain into his face for a long nose, and press two grains of common rice on. eiach side of his face for eyes.
For Mrs. Gollypog use two prunes for her body,-two raisins for her head, and four more for hands and feet. If you want the Gollypogs to stand up, you can prop them up with one toothpick stuck in the middle of their backs. For the horse use one prune and one raisin, making his four long legs, neck, and tail of toothpicks.
You can make all sorts of animals out of prunes, using longer toothpicks [for the legs of the giraffe and shorter 'ones for the pig.- If you decide to make a dog, you might use a feather for his tail. Feathers may be used for making Gollypog birds, too, but be careful not to swallow the feathers when you are eating the Gollypogs. • >/ • ; • LAST WEEK'S ANSWERS. Which Ahlmal.—Opossum.
