She helped with the crib and dresser assembly for LO and was so excited to be doing something for the yet to arrive LO. It took longer but at 9, she was actually quite helpful: </p> Cherrybee on "Do your kids like to "help" when you assemble furniture?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-to-help-when-you-assemble-furniture#post-1992670 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 03:03:36 +0000 Cherrybee 1992670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E always gets involved with the furniture building, much to DH''s (chief furniture builder) annoyance. He has added "err, can you get her please?" to his repertoire of furniture building phrases, which also includes "this is badly designed", " the instructions are wrong" "there aren't enough screws" and a million c-bombs. :silly: </p> anonysquire on "Do your kids like to "help" when you assemble furniture?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-to-help-when-you-assemble-furniture#post-1992529 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 20:50:40 +0000 anonysquire 1992529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: gotcha! </p> mrbee on "Do your kids like to "help" when you assemble furniture?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-to-help-when-you-assemble-furniture#post-1992528 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 20:49:15 +0000 mrbee 1992528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Just finished!</p> <p>Haha I wasn't posting on my phone, I was posting while they were busy assembling! :) </p> anonysquire on "Do your kids like to "help" when you assemble furniture?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-like-to-help-when-you-assemble-furniture#post-1992527 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 20:46:28 +0000 anonysquire 1992527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So curious.... with them "helping" and you on your phone, are you done yet?

It probably doubles the amount of time it takes to assemble the furniture, but the kids sure love it!</p> <p>My main goal in this whole process is to allow the kids to feel helpful, while preventing them from realizing that they have absolutely no ability to assemble furniture whatsoever.</p> <p>Do your kids like to "help" when you assemble furniture? </p>
