Just another quick DIY project done by yours truly... plus teaching the boy a little something about using spray paint... that was an adventure in itself... keep the mineral spirits close by. 😉

He had been asking for my help to paint his bike for a while. It was a good learning session for him. Maybe next time he wants to paint something he will do the whole thing himself.

Yeah that's awesome. I just did a fun little project with my son as well! I'll be posting about it maybe this week or next week. He had a lot of fun doing it and got to participate several times so he was very excited. These little things are a really nice way to just help them gain confidence in their abilities.

Exactly!! They need to fail a little bit, get taught the "correct" way, then improve their skills. It's tough to get them back on the horse when they get bucked off. They just don't get how many times we have failed at something but just kept trying.

Looking forward to seeing your project!!
