As the children enjoy hammering in nails we had a think about what we could do with the nails when they were in the wood. \u00a0The children \u00a0thought about shapes and patterns they could make with the nails and then use wool to weave round them . Firstly they made their pattern or character on the wood providing them a opportunity to develop their mark making skills.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When the pattern was ready we then got the hammer and nails out. We have learnt that if we use the pliers to hold the nail it helps protect our fingers. We then placed the nails round the edge of our design and carefully hammered them in.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
