Built a raised garden bed with my 6 year old

Got supplies from Lowes, spent Saturday morning putting it together. My son helped me measure and hammer nails (with my hands guiding). We planted tomatoes, peppers, and basil. He's already checking it every morning before school asking if they're growing. Might be the best $40 I've spent on an activity. He's so proud and keeps telling grandma about HIS garden.

Love this. There's something special about teaching them to use tools and measure things right. My go-to is cooking projects but building with your hands hits different.

That's the stuff right there. Getting your 6 year old involved in building something real beats any store-bought toy. We did a garden bed last spring and my son still talks about the tomatoes we grew.
