my 3 year old LOVES helping, we find really small splits or small branch pieces for her to stack or toss in the trailer.

Here's my youngest daughter. She's really into this wood stove. Her teenage sister helps too, in between texting, mirror time, computer time....... ;-)

Once girls get to that age its almost impossible to get them to do anything outside of their lil world! Luckly the youngest is still yours! lol.

Please get the kids some gloves, I hate splinters.

Great pictures :cheese:

I didn't start heating with wood again until my boys were 12 and 13, took them a year to learn the ropes, but they do everything but drive the truck and run the chain saw. Actually I've had the oldest run the saw a bit, but I'm too paranoid he might hurt himself, and I don't have all the protection gear.
They both split wood better then some full grown men I've seen, in fact they have split better than 50% of our wood pile. If I didn't enjoy splitting the wood so much myself, they probably wood have split it all.
This is my oldest (14) in action!

Edit*** Oh, and notice he is wearing gloves***** ;-)

My 3yo son also helps wood duty, has his own wheelbarrow and likes to push the wood down the chute into the basement. Another couple years and he will run the show.
