Sam and Abby have recently acquired pocket knives, and they are more then a little obsessed with whittling. We are trying to teach them all the safety rules. John's favorite cautionary advice is " Never cut towards your thumb... always cut toward your chum!" So as you can imagine, our kids (and everyone else) are in good hands;)
For Mother's day, Abby and Sam both gave me a stick with MOM meticulously carved into it.
Around that same time they each whittled a fresh branch and fashioned a BOW out of it. I was surprised to see that they could actually shoot with it!
For the most part, I have no regrets about letting them have a pocket knife. That is, until I find all the wood chips they've left behind!
