We then used a backgammon gambling dice to establish the stamina of each figure. <br />Then you would put a figure on the board and take turns in rolling the dice. When the number of hits had exceeded the stamina, the figure was dead.<br />It was a very simple game, but for some reason he just loved playing it, we trained a lot of numbers during the game, so that was a bonus. <br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-14394859829110176482018-10-22T19:46:34.051-07:002018-10-22T19:46:34.051-07:00My 5 yr. old granddaughter and I made a ring toss ...My 5 yr. old granddaughter and I made a ring toss game.

But I wanted her to have some options to choose from.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-74397788507734429632018-10-22T15:17:04.789-07:002018-10-22T15:17:04.789-07:00Hi Ty

Laura does...Hi Jeremy<br /><br />Thanks for the nice comment.<br />Laura does read my blog once in a while (or at least so she claims).<br />But I really had some moral issues if it was correct to label it "children's projects".<br />I like your idea that they are our children no matter the age :-)<br /><br />And you are so correct in the notion that when a kid wants to do a project - we get to it!<br /><br />I would love for our kids to have a great time in the shop, just like I do - and be able to actually be the experienced person in the project. Something that ain't easy if we talk about smart phones, horseback riding, soccer and music :-)<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-35125475634199493002018-10-22T07:49:55.184-07:002018-10-22T07:49:55.184-07:00When a kid wants to make a project, we get to it. ...When a kid wants to make a project, we get to it. Also as far as a "child" definition, I think they always qualify as a child if they are yours (and they don't read your blog). Regardless of what I do or how experienced I become, when I work with my Dad I believe I'm 8yrs old again.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028867150859768771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-36613221936760907122018-10-22T06:20:59.926-07:002018-10-22T06:20:59.926-07:00Yes, I was really pleased to know that she would l...Yes, I was really pleased to know that she would like to do a project with me.<br /><br />Her friends who received the belts we made some time ago still proudly wears those, so I think that is maybe something that has sparked her interest in making something again.<br /><br />After all there is a huge sense of accomplishment in making a project that is being used by others.<br /><br />It also helps if such a project will be admired by her peers, I doubt that many of her friends would have thought it possible to make a Roorkhee chair yourself.<br /><br />Actually I was considering making a small class for Laura and some of her friends, but I need to smack together an extra workbench first, so there will be enough workspace for more than one.<br />Let's see how it will turn out with this first one, if it is a success, I can always make a class later on.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-14195812500122432352018-10-22T05:01:58.477-07:002018-10-22T05:01:58.477-07:00Very cool, music to my ears :-)
