Roy in particular enjoyed the woodwork. I think it made him feel like a man! The children really enjoy making their own toys. It makes them feel empowered and they realise that they can create anything they need or want out of everyday materials. Our kids don't ask us for things. They've started to make their own!
No ready-made, smooth-finished, brightly-coloured, battery-operated, plastic toys for us. When toys can speak, talk and move, there's nothing left for the child to imagine or create. Therein lies the beauty of natural toys. Our fishing rods double up as magic wands!
How to make a magnetic fishing rod
1. Go for a nature walk and pick some nice branches.
2. Scrape off the bark with a paint remover. Remember to scrape AWAY from the body.
3. Sandpaper the branch to smooth out any bumps.
4. Drill a tiny hole and insert a metal eye-hook. (optional - you could just tie the strong to the rod.)
5. Tie a piece of string to the eye hook and attach a magnet on the other end.
6. Make magnetic fish using felt, magnets and fabric glue, or twist pipe cleaners into fish shapes.
7. Go fishing!
