Draw a horse's face on the paper bag (see sketch a). Cut two ears from the other paper bag (see sketch b). Glue these in place on the horse's head. Stuff the paper bag with newspapers, allowing room for the broomstick to fit into the horse's head. Tie bag securely to broomstick. Fold the 6"x12" piece of paper lengthwise and fringe for mane as shown in sketch c. Glue to horse's head (sketch c) , then tack to broomstick any portion extending beyond paper bag.

Either paste it on cardboard or make a copy of it and then trace your pattern on a sheet of lightweight cardboard. Cut out. Fold the cut-out double horse in half so that the 2 sides match. Fasten the 2 sides of the horse's back together with a paper clip. Bend the base up between the rounded ends of the rockers. Give the small rocking horse a gentle push. It will start rocking back and forth.
Make A Hobby Horse from an Old Broomstick
(Parental Help Probably Needed) Stuff a large white sock with cotton as full as possible from heel to toe. Push a discarded broomstick all the way to the heel and pack cotton around it to make the neck. Then tie it on securely with string. Add two black buttons for eyes, and sew in place two small pieces of felt for ears. Make a bridle by sewing or gluing on buttons and gluing brightly colored ribbon on the face. Then braid a long strip of yarn for the reins, and fasten this across the toe of the sock. Cut plenty of yarn in 6-inch strips for a heavy mane, and glue or sew this in place along the seam of the sock. Heavy brown paper, cut in strips, also makes a good mane.
