Carpentry under our cherry blossom tree

After the children had been successful with the tent constructions, we decided to move the carpentry table to a more central location in the centre. 

Our lovely Cherry Blossom tree is flowering and what better place to be than under its fragrant flowers. 

The wood was replenished, and hammers and nails found and another type of construction began. 

Children want to be part of the world in which adults live and carpentry enables this type of real world play. Some children have a clear plan about what they want to make and others are experimenting with the tools to see how it all fits together.
