Well, I’ve never had children, unless you count my doll and dummy. Lol. 
However, , my sister helped me to make a pull toy for a friend’s daughter. 
It was made with part of a milk jug we decorated with smooth paper, I don’t 
remember exactly the name of that smooth finishing sheet.

One of my nephews made me some things, I don’t remember exactly, out of 
baked clay that was easy to break.

I made a crocheted potholder, the kind that you stitch around and around 
until the curls meet half way and you stitch them closed.  I asked her if 
she would like it for her birthday.

My mom taught me the basics of knitting and some crocheting, but I  worked 
at making only a few projects.  She also taught me sewing, with which I only 
made a few things.  then in high school, she sent me some plastic canvas, 
which, as you can guess, has become a favorite craft material over the 
years, though she herself didn’t use it as much as I have.

My sister gave, or loaned, my mom and me a book with instructions for home 
made toys.  I don’t remember how much I helped, but one of the most exciting 
projects was a contraption made with a cardboard box with string and beads 
that would slide across long strings when you move two handles in together 
and pull apart alternately, if I remember correctly.  It would make some 
noise as it  dragged along with the string.

Sometimes I like one worded philosophies, so now that I think of it, I would 
give my child the word, love; love for God and neighbor that helps us forget 
about the basics of needing to follow all His commandments; accepting His 
love, friendship and salvation through Christ,  which came before we loved 
Him, .

Since my mother is gone, I only count my caregiver.  She is like both a 
mother and sister.  I plan to give her  some flowers in a new vase.
