Making the perfect tool

May 16, 2015 by Debbie

After breakfast Jamie set out onto Young’s Hill with purpose in her step.

We watched as she very methodically selected a bamboo shoot and headed back into the greenhouse.

As it turns out, she had unsuccessfully attempted to get some peanuts outside the caging using a toy rake. The handle was just slightly too big to reach out to the peanuts.

The bamboo stick was a little too cumbersome, so Jamie needed to tweak it a bit. First she broke it in half, and then she removed some of the branches.

Now that she designed the perfect tool, she could reach the peanuts!

Success.
