Nail Board


 
Materials

  • Nails
  • Wooden board
  • Hammer
  • String or elastic bands

Directions

  1. Hammer nails into a piece of board.
  2. Allow your child to create a design by wrapping string or colored elastic bands around the nails.
  3. Hammer the nails in a pattern, or use rows or circles so your child can create her own designs.
  4. Make sure that the nails only penetrate the top side of the board, put away the hammer and excess nails, and supervise your child to avoid accidents.
