OTHER toys were made from scraps. Barrel hoops were rolled. Wool unraveled from stockings was wadded up into balls and covered with animal hide. Dolls were fashioned from cornhusks, clay, wood, nuts, apples, and stones swaddled in cloth.

For untold generations, Hopi and Zuni Indians in pueblos of the Southwest carved and painted the kachina dolls that represent spirits who take prayers to the gods. Fathers and uncles still give the dolls to young girls during annual ceremonies.

As time passed, children of the settlers acquired more sophisticated toys. Boys had toy soldiers and wooden guns, slingshots, and Indian bows and arrows. Stuffed animals and beanbags and other imaginative playthings kept both boys and girls busy all week until Sunday.
