Lattu: A solid turnip shaped wooden toy, with a nail struck at the rear end is made to spin using a cotton thread. You can be declared a hero if your lattu is caught mid air it spins on your own palm for sometime.

Gilli Danda: The outstanding combination of four inch danda and a gilli sharpened at the corners will prove to be a great entertainer. The danda used to drive the gilli forward needs a little knack and wit gathered over a period of time.
