Tools doesn't mean a chainsaw or a drill here. It can be something like a spoon, a piece of rope.
Lego pieces, for example, are designed to cater to instinctual tool use in human kids.
- pharrington 4y agoI probably didn't explain myself very well, but I do mean improvisational and long term. I haven't seen 2 year olds plan more than like a minute ahead, and they definitely need to be taught how to manipulate even the most basic objects (beyond simply putting the thing in their mouth). A four year old human certainly does those things, but the comparison is with octopuses, whose typical lifespan is less than 4 years.
