Whittling is great for the mental health of kids. We find many kids with anxiety find whittling to be calming. It is creative, positive, and far more life-giving than staring at a screen.
In this video Greg discusses the knife choice, offers some tips about techniques, recommends a couple of knives we find are fantastic for kids, and shows some of the whittling blanks available on the Joy of Wood’s on-line shops.
Best of all, Greg says, get carving with your kids. Do it together. The power of the shared experience!
