Care of Tools
Together with the use of tools, the child must learn the care of the
tools. After using each tool, he or she is taught how to clean it and return
it to its right place. If there is any special way of storing a tool, this
is shown and explained. The child is shown how to work without getting
himself or the environment wet or messy. The child is shown how to clean
up and put everything away in its place when he or she has finished.
