Käpylehmä

Käpylehmä (plural: Käpylehmät), or "cone cows", were traditional homemade toys in Finland. Cone cows were made by children using material found in nature. The most common design is a spruce or pine cone with sticks for legs, which can easily be attached by forcing them between the cone scales. Playing with cone cows usually involved building an animal enclosure from sticks. For the most part, cone cows have been displaced by manufactured toys, at least in affluent countries.
