Carve a fun figure from a branch ... Examine an insect closely under a magnifying glass ... Camp in the garden in summer and take an exciting night walk at midnight. For children, there are countless adventures to experience in nature – and what is always important is having the right equipment.
Tools not toys. When carving, drilling, filing, and sawing, children are dealing with genuine tools instead of with flimsy toys made of plastic. This requires the proper and responsible handling of the tools, which children of course must first learn from adults. And the more confidence parents have in their children, the more the children’s independence and self-confidence is reinforced. Hammer, pliers, screwdriver, etc. belong to the basic equipment of craftspeople, big and little.
