Shop day!

Today we learned that the preschool isn't the only thing in the Laban Peachey Center. We visited the "shop" just across the hall. Mr. Tim is really good at working with wood and he taught us all about saws, hammers, nails, drills, etc. He even made a wood truck for our preschool, plus some pretty awesome homemade wood tops! It was a fun day. 

We had to put safety goggles on first.

Mr. Tim had us feel a rough piece of wood. He used a sander to make it smooth.

hello!

He used this saw to cut a piece of wood for our truck.

This band saw cut out the front part of the wood.

Then he drilled a big hole in for the window.
And two smaller holes for the wheels. 

Time for wood glue.

Ta da - a new wood truck for preschool!

To TOP it all off -- Mr. Tim was gracious enough and made us all tops to take home.
Aren't these cool? He said his wife saw this idea on pinterest. :)
