Crafty Boy Project

Jonah is always game for a project.  He is interested in lots of different things, but as he is getting older some of the cut and paste stuff is growing a little boring.  Unfortunately, many of the projects out there are aimed at girls, not crafty boys.

For Jonah's birthday in April, we bought him the book Tin Cups & Tinder: A Catholic Boy's Little Book of Fire, Food and Fun.  I was thrilled to find a project book geared toward nature loving boys.  The first project? making a Haversack.  This was to be a father son endeavor, I got out the necessary supplies and then left strict instructions to take pictures!

This nature boy is ready to go!


Do you have a boy that loves crafty projects?

Linking today at NOBH and Works for me Wednesday.

I was reading your post this morning and I said "Oh wow, cool!" and my husband said, "can I be nosy and ask what you are reading?" So I showed him your post and the book and he said, "oh wow, cool!" We are getting a book because we have three XY children and they love nature and they will love this book. :)

How much fun for Jonah!!! And I love that Dad helped out with this and not Mom. What a great gift idea, Jen. Stan is really still in the cut and paste mode, but he will soon need a book like that!

We have that book! We have not made anything yet, but I am glad to see that your son had fun making something. I love that this book has so many "boy" ideas.
