Little Whittling

Teach your toddler some woodworking skills safely. See if they can make a powerful wizard’s wand!
What you will need:
- A vegetable peeler (Y shaped is best for little hands)
- Colourful yarn or pipe cleaners
How to:
- Have a wander around for a wand-sized stick - one that will fit nicely into your toddlers hand.
- Help them peel the bark off the bottom 1/3 of the stick with the vegetable peeler. This has become the handle of the wand.
- Decorate by wrapping around bits of yarn or pipe cleaners if you’d like!
- Make sure both you and your toddler have a wand, now you can play a fun version of hide and seek casting spells on one another once you’ve been found!
