We used to make rubber-band guns out of clothes pins and pocket knives out of popsicle sticks.

And I’ll bet you sharpened those popsicle sticks on the sidewalk. I am a woman, and I was quite the tomboy. Although I did not have much interest in guns or knives, your post made me remember my attempts to make a bow and arrow set. Our concrete porch was the perfect place to make points on the twigs that would become arrows. Memories....
Yes we did! We also used sticks as swords and trash can lids as shields! We made bows and arrows too. I think I might take my grandsons out this weekend and show them how! At 7 and 5 they will think it’s the coolest thing ever!
