Part 9

_A._ A sled is made by cutting the cover or lower half of a box that has been placed to stand upon its rims. Rims are cut off at each end of the box or cover. The long rims make the runners. Cut the rims Where you see heavy black lines in the diagram.

_B._ A sleigh top is added to a sled by cutting the cover of a box to the shape of the upper part of a sleigh. The lower half of the same box makes runners for the sleigh. Glue the cover to these. In cutting your box follow the heavy lines indicated in diagram.

=Diagram Eleven.=

_A._ This is the way to draw the sections for the game-board of “Ringfling.” Draw from corner to corner of the box upon its top. Number one section 1. Number another 2. Number another 3. Leave one section blank.

_B._ Cut two rings from cardboard like the one shown. Cut where the heavy black line is in the diagram. Make one ring smaller than the other.

=Diagram Twelve.= Draw this figure upon the top of your box. Draw from corner to corner, and from center of side to center of side, across the top of the box. Paint sections marked _x_.

=Diagram Thirteen.= This shows a small box with sliding cover which draws over an inner drawer.

_A_ is the drawer. At its center, crosswise, there is a piece of stick fitted into the box. Holes are pierced at either end of the drawer.

_B_ is the box ready for its magic play. Its drawer is replaced within the sliding cover. The box is strung upon a yard or so of string.

Here’s our last page! We say good-bye— But we will meet some other day To build within this Magic Land And be good comrades in our play.
