As you know, tool use is an essential component of Forest School.   Even young children can learn how to use hand tools safely and effectively!  We start with tools that won't run the risk of hurting little ones, like safety knives, safety peelers, and rubber mallets.  Tool use helps children build confidence, fine motor skills, self-regulation, and so  much more!   In December, we will give parents more information about how we use tools across all age ranges here at Oakview Farm Forest School!  (Oh, and check out our Tool Drive!  Hardly any tool will be refused! )
