One of my favourite presents was a set of dolls to be made up from pipe cleaners, large wooden beads (heads), large two-holed buttons (stands) and ribbons (to make the clothing). I spent hours playing with these. I used to hold 'swimming galas' in the bathroom washbasin, making them dive off the taps. It can't have done them much good but it certainly entertained me!
