In each family, it was necessary to have its own left-handed, which was not only a role and wheels for the cart, but also fun toys for their children in moments of leisure. The most affordable materials were clay and wood, so children's clay whistles and wooden matryoshki came out of the hands of Cleells.
Not always dolls from wood had legs and hands. Often, the manufacture of the crafts has ended with the designation of the eyes and mouth, the rest added child fantasy. But sometimes loving dad did such crafts or mechanical masterpieces, which were transmitted from generation to generation. For example, a wooden rocking chair in the form of sowing-beam was almost every kid.
