Tuesday’s All About Kids
Yeah it’s that time again I have something incredible to share today. All About Kids is a meme that’s just about kids. Share what your kids are up too. Crafts, Projects, Outings, ETC…
This week I am going to share with you Dakota the Builder! He loves to build. In fact he went ahead and used scrap wood to try to build a house. Only he had enough for the floor. LOL I am going to show you what he built this week. Nope it’s not the house. But in the mist of his painting he thought it would be fun to paint my screen door. Sigh… Thank goodness it’s acrylic paint and will wash off.
























Hello. I am stopping by for Click & Comment Monday. I just clicked over from Vintage Day blog.
I always encouraged my son to build. He liked to take things apart, too. It is good to encourage them to explore their talents and interests.

Yeah!! I love to see others jump in. My son loves to build. We have some scrap wood in the garage. He has made a little plane and now a great big huge plane. Thanks for stopping by.
Looking forward to seeing the end result! Maybe he has a future as a builder!

Hi plane was finished all painted. Wondering what his next project will be. My neighbors got a kick out of him in the their yard yesterday hammering away at boards. I will take pictures. He hung a bird house to the birch tree. Rather low. He put a little nail in there so the birds could have a little perch. LOL It was cute.
How neat! I love when little boys try to be handy! My little guys all have their own tools and are always building something with scrap wood we have laying around. I can’t wait to see the end result! So glad the paint will wash off of your door too! Funny how those little boys minds think! I’m sure he was just trying to help.

LOL his theory was well the door is old so it could use some fixing up… We have the scrap wood pile too. I love the creativity.

Thank you Suzanne. What is your blog addy? How nice of you to think of me
He looks very industrious! My youngest loves to build, but mostly with Legos – I have never let him loose with hammer and nails. Maybe I should.

Well last night he got the hammers taken away. They will be taken away for awhile now. Once in a while Dakota builds with legos. I wish he would build more often.
It’s great to see that you let him play around with tools! Some moms who would say that’s too dangerous, but kids need to have time to work out their interests and experiment! I’m an art teacher, so I totally approve:)

Hi Nancy! Thank you for stopping by. I let him explore his creativity. Lately he has been using more color. He really enjoy painting too.
I love visiting mommy blogs. I don’t have any children yet, but I figure that it is like getting a head start on the process. I get to read all the amazing tips from today’s mommies and hoping to be just as great when my time comes.
Thanks for stopping by my blog

Awww! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
My guys love to build, too. They’ve built benches, little chairs, beds. Give them a hammer, nail, and some wood, and you’ve got a happy crew!

I love the projects too! The creativity and the finished product. Friday the kids are going to the rec center to make molds. I can’t wait to see what these turn out to be.
Thanks for coming by and entering my An Armful of Sunflowers Contest.
I love watching kids build things. The look he has while hammering is priceless!

He looks as though he is in deep thought. I was afraid he would hammer is fingers. LOL thanks for stopping by.
I love his plane. I love all the projects my babies do. They grow up so fast, so I enjoy every second of it now while I can. I always enjoy all of your pics:)

Your right they grow up so fast. I want to save as much as I can so we can look back on it when he is older.

I left you some love over on my blog

Awww Thank you! My son loves to build. The hammering is actually good sensory input for him.
Nothing like scrap wood, a hammer and a few nails to bring out the creativity. That’s a pretty cool plane, good work Dakota.
I keep meaning to ask if you’ve ever visited
Untamed Thoughts on Autism at http://libertine-mag.blogspot.com/ Libertine and I started blogging about the same time. She writes about her daughter Cirwen who is older than Dakota, you might find it interesting.

I thought his plane was cool. It was huge!! No I don’t think I have ever seen that website. I will make sure I check it out after my meeting this morning.
Lol, well at least he got the most important part out of the way. Can’t wait to see more!
