I must add, I just remembered another story: I needed to make an overhead cupboard and a small closet, and found out there was no time to do this without kids nearby. So I did it together with the son. He was happy to press the button on the drill and to drive dowels with a toy hammer -- I drilled extra holes in the exercise board for him. We did it in several sessions, and afterwards he'd proudly tell people he made two closets.

Once I had to go to a DIY store on a weekend, and to free my wife from sitting with him, took him too. I knew we'd be fascinated, and indeed he was, studying everything for 2 hours.
