Built my first raised garden bed with the boys
Spent Saturday morning building a 4x8 cedar bed with my 7 and 5 year old. Let them help measure and hammer nails (with safety squints of course). They got so excited when we filled it with soil. Went to the store yesterday and they each picked out seeds. Already checking on it every morning to see if anything sprouted. Cost me like 60 bucks and 2 hours but the look on their faces made it worth every penny.
Dude this is the best stuff. Getting them hands dirty, learning how things actually get built. My 8 year old helped me with a project in the garage last month and suddenly he's interested in how things work. That's worth way more than screen time.
