Multi Tool Learning


What do you think happens when you give this:



To this six year old boy for his birthday:


You find lots of these everywhere...





Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. If anything I'm bragging about the amount of learning that comes from letting little boys be boys. I will say he's very fast and I've had to lay down some boundaries with him. For example, the other day when he took the light switch cover off. :) There is only one knife on it, and for those worried about that John plans to dull it. I personally think he is responsible enough with it now that I've observed him with it for a couple of weeks.

  1. How great! I love this, and the look on his face is priceless. I have been planing on putting T his own real tool box together. That way he can disassemble things, just like your guy did. My mom wanted to get a huge old log or stump and let T pound nails into it. This is the old timey kind of fun boys need!!! Now do the other boys want leathermans too?
