Content
Children not only enjoy watching mom and dad work with tools - what they would really like is to take hold of the tools and hammer, saw, sand and drill alongside their parents. Paul, Lea and their father want to build a playhouse. In the basement of their home, we see where the tools are stored. First, the building team clamps wood into a vice and cuts it to the right length with a ruler and saw. Next the wood is sanded and smoothed. Paul uses a gimlet to drill small holes into the wood, while his father uses the electric drill. Screwdrivers and wrenches are also needed. Lea has to be careful of her fingers while she's hammering. Nails hammered in crooked can be pulled out again with pliers. Paul's father uses a level to make sure the boards are straight. Finally, the playhouse is brightly decorated with paint, brushes and paint rollers. And as the final step, young readers can play a clean-up game, putting all the tools back where they belong.
