Dallen loves to be helpful and make things. I figured this out last year. For Christmas I got him his own tool kit. It was a huge hit and he is always excited to use it when there is a loose screw or anything else that needs putting up or fixing. It is channeling his need to create things like his mom. David is not very happy about Dallen doing crafts but he loves to do them so I have had to find Boy appropriate crafts. I found this tutorial and thought it would work.
Our first attempt was a huge success. Dallen measured, Cut and drilled the cute camp stools in the photo. All I had to do was make the seat cover to go on it. He made two one for him and one for Derek. Dallen even took it to scout camp and it was a huge hit. Someone was always siting in it. David has dug a fire pit and when he is home the boys always have a fire. In preparation for Scout camp Dallen figured that he should try out his mess kit. It didn't mater that we had a huge dinner not but an hour before.
He asked me to take this photo for Debby because she likes to see what food looks like. This is his first time cooking all by himself over the fire with his new mess kit.
