On one of our trips to G'ma Suzie and Papa Joe's, Caleb discovered one of Papa's wood project books (aka The Wood Book). Caleb has been fascinated with instructions, which continues to baffle me because I still have difficulty reading the full direction even when cooking- I read the ingredients and then kind of just throw it all together... Anyways, the boy pours over his Lego directions with more intensity even then he actually plays with the Legos and one of his favorite set of directions is to our Wii Sports Resort video game. He even reads the directions to using the Wii remote game directions are not available.
So Caleb loves directions, of course he's going to love a book that is all directions for making things. It took a couple of trips to start remembering what he wanted when he asked for his Wood Book but would ask for it as soon as we got in the door.
Most recently, we were out there for Father's day and Caleb (while reading the Wood Book) decided that he wanted to make something from the book. Now the book contains all kinds of projects, bird houses, book shelves, tables and chairs, even toys. The boy wanted to make........... napkin rings.
