I taught him the proper skill on hammering. π¨π¨ It may look simple but its not.... ππ I remembered my grandma π§π¨ taught me to hammer 3 inches nail with 5-6 hits. At first my son was struggling with 20 nails.... slowly he got a hang with it.
He helped me assembled a wardrobe, a bookcase, and a glass cabinet. ππππ½ππ½ He was so happy with his achievement.
