Saturday morning I splurged on a scroll saw and we spent the entire weekend making our own wooden toys. Elon, in particular, showed immediate talent for the work and cut out piece after piece almost flawlessly. He didn't even break any blades!

I drew the patterns, he cut them out and we all took turns sanding. I experimented with both wood burning (hated it!) and a water color wash on a few pieces, but will need to play around with some other paint ideas this week. It's definitely an addicting new hobby!
