Kids are absolute sponges. I've got my three year old using a dozen or so different tools based on need (different screw drivers, wrenches aka spanners, and sockets). Actual tools that adults use, not the playset plastic variety. It's wild.
- alt227 4y agoJust an interested question. What need does a 3 year old have for adult tools?
- andrew_ 4y agoI have her out there changing my oil every 7k miles. She's small. Can shimmy under there without using jacks. It's aces. In all seriousness - use of physical tools teaches a myriad of skills. Just a few; hand-eye coordination, problem solving, visual spacial recognition. Children's toy brands like Melissa & Doug sell a wide variety of sets for development of these and other skills. Her using my tools is additional parental involvement and interaction, bonding time. Nothing but positives.
