OUAGA (WAGA) WHEELS CHILDREN OF BURKINA FASO, WEST AFRICA HAVE NO ACCESS TO FACTORY- MADE TOYS. INSTEAD THEY MAKE THEIR OWN. IN AFRICA THERE IS NO WASTE. COLLECTING OLD AEROSOL CANS, CON- DENSED MILK CANS & CAR TIRES, THE CHILDREN RECYCLE GARBAGE INTO THESE EXAMPLES OF CREATIVE PLAY- THINGS. ALTHOUGH THESE ARE TOYS TO THE AFRICAN YOUNGSTERS, OUTSIDE OF AFRICA WE MAY REGARD THESE AS COLLECTIBLE HANDI CRAFTS, ENJOY- ING THEM FOR THEIR ARTISTIC VALUE. NOTE: NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN !
