Getting started:
1. Insert three (3) AAA batteries into the drill’s battery compartment
following the instructions in this guide.
2. Help your child install the drill bit onto the end of the drill.
3. Show your child how to change the direction of the drill bit by sliding the
button on the back of the drill.
4. Place a bolt on the lid of the bucket. Demonstrate how to drill the bolt in,
and then reverse the drill to show how to remove the bolt.
5. Let your child’s imagination take over!
Patterns:
Before using the patterns in this guide,
encourage your child to play freely with
the lid, bolts, and drill by drilling bolts
in wherever they like.
When you feel your child is ready, choose
one of the patterns to re-create. Review the
pattern with your child and identify which
color bolts are needed. Set these aside so
they are easier to access.
Encourage your child to pay close attention
to the position of the bolts by counting the
number of each color bolt and the number
of blank holes between bolts. You can help
by asking questions such as, “What is next to the yellow bolt? What is below the
red bolt? What is above the green bolt? How many blue bolts are in that row?”
TIP:
It may be helpful to say the pictured pattern aloud as the child works,
for example, “Green, green, yellow, blue.”
As your child gains more experience with the patterns, you can try the more
complex patterns. You can also use the patterns to encourage language
development by discussing the details in each picture or asking your child
to tell you a story about the design.
