My two young daughters love bushcraft (luckily for me
) and as with most kids they love getting certificates or awards from school or wherever.
I'd imagine you would get these sort of rewards at clubs such as cubs or brownies etc, but i was thinking about making some basic ones up from home. I'm thinking about individual certificates for various levels of each subject, ie; knife safety, shelter building, firecraft.....all the basics of bushcraft really.
For me the most important one to start off with is knife safety. I've covered much of what i know to keep them safe but would welcome some tips for advising them on when it comes to handling a knife. Then they could get a little certificate when they have achieved this and are let loose on some of daddy's better toys!
The little one is sat here whittling away with her new Frosts Clipper and she is well impressed, she's already finding out by her own experience the difference between a good and bad knife.
Does anyone else do this sort of thing with awards?
Thanks for any advice.
Boosh.
