ok, most dads teach their kids something like how to build a birdhouse......but i suck at working with wood. i work a lot better with metal. so we are building a hen and chicken flower planter out of a old hot water tank.
first make sure proper safety equipment is being used.
next, demonstrate proper technique.
lastly HANDS ON!!

and Kevin, 4 years old
btw, yes the tank is galvanized but i made sure there was a good wind blowing to help keep the fumes away.
they had a blast helping me and did really good ....espeicaly after i showed them how dangerous a torch can be by instantly lighting a newspaper with it.
they cant wait for me to paint it and they can fill it with dirt and plant some flowers.
