You totally saved my day! Today is Mebret's bday party! I'm off to Home Depot to get supplies...I'll let you know how the kids like it:) Thanks for the laugh!
I've played a similar game at a bar in Minnesota during Lumberjack Days. It was a pretty late hour of the night at which most of the participants didn't have much more mental capacity than some precocious one year olds.
Um... here the game is called "Hammerschlagen". Here's an explanation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerschlagen
Seperately, my kids do love to pound nails into scrap wood at home. I remember doing this as a child, too. We, though, make it easier and let the nails be pounded into the end of the wood, like a stump.
Perfect choice for 1 yr. olds....just hope they're not all waa waa waa about a few splinters.

ReplyDeleteDude, I was there. It was THE hit of the children's area!
ReplyDeleteIf only I could convince my principal that this was an educational activity, I could use it with my 10 year olds...
