Those toys you could find right by the roadside, the toys from childhood, do you still remember them? Foxtail grass, garden balsam, sweet potato necklaces on the wild paths, so many, so many childhood memories, things the post-2000s generation has never even seen, a childhood that belongs only to us~

Tie a knot in foxtail grass, and it instantly becomes a little bunny

Pull 3 stalks of foxtail grass, choose two smaller ones for the ears, and a bigger one for the body, wrap them around twice and tie a knot, and a cute little bunny is woven!

If you want our little bunny to have arms and a tail, just prepare a few more stalks of foxtail grass, pick two small ones for the ears, then take one and tie a knot.

Use the big foxtail grass to wrap the body, and when you are halfway through wrapping, remember to leave two grass heads sticking out to make the little bunny's arms.

A little lower on the opposite side from the two arms, leave one grass head sticking out to make the tail, and a three-dimensional Bugs Bunny appears!

We can also control the length of the bunny's ears and tail ourselves, and sometimes making a bunny with long ears and a long tail looks really nice too~

Garden balsam petals, natural nail polish

Pick fresh garden balsam petals, put them in a bowl and mash them, then apply them to your nails.

Wrap the nails with garden balsam leaves, wind fine string around them to hold them in place, and in one night you can dye your nails red~

Its seeds burst open at a single touch of the hand, and I even used its seed husks as ornaments, clipping them onto my ears~

Sweet potato leaves, the first necklace of childhood

I remember that in the season when the sweet potato vines grew lush, I would go with my friends to pick the leaves, bring them back and break them into sections, which could be made into a necklace and also worn as a bracelet.

These childhood games may never appear again, but they are our memories, and no one can erase them.

Heart-shaped fruits as decorations, poplar leaves for tug-of-war

Shepherd's purse flowers, when I was little I did not even know what they were called, my friends and I would pick off its heart-shaped seed pods and stick them on our foreheads as decorations, and they were so pretty that I really thought they were leaves.

Every autumn, poplar leaves fall with a swish, and we would pick our favorite leaves under the tree, cross two of them, and see who could snap the other's leaf stalk, and whoever won would stay proud for a long time.
