Have you ever made anything to give as a holiday present?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I love making gifts!

My son and I made a few Medieval board games to pass out to his friends last *********. Seeing a room full of kids learning how to play Hnefatafl (Viking-chess) and Nine Men’s Morris was a blast.
