Francis Trez Cole Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I have twin boys and I have them on the road to being blacksmith. They already knew what to do hitting there anvils with hammers. We will just have to wait and see how far they will go. At least they are pointed in the right direction.

beth Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 thats the way! lucky boys! my kids learned a bit of hammer control when they were little by having a big log with nails tapped in slightly for them to bash right in. they loved it - particularly my daughter;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Einhorn Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Sounds great. Don't forget that you can build them a play blacksmith shop, complete with wood hammers, tongs, and a wood anvil. For material, they can "forge" modeling clay.

Bentiron1946 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Looks great! When my boys were young all they were interested in was hitting each other with the hammer, come to think of it they still are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
