You see, you have to think ahead when you see them do things like this....... ;D You just nurture that interest, and guide it in the right direction, and then you mention you wish you could make a full size Tee Pee like the smaller ones she used to make when she was younger..... ;D

Post by: stickbender on June 16, 2011, 05:12:56 am: There you go! ;) Now just make like it was all because of her little Tee Pee, that inspired you to make the big one! ;D
The camping will be just that much more fun. Now start on the leather work, and mention how the Indian Women would do all the tanning, and such, and that you just happen to have some deer skins in the freezer, and you would be glad to show her to to brain tan, and such, but that you doubt that she could handle it, but if she really wants to try, you might let tan about a dozen or so just to get the hang of it..... ;D ;D ;D After all the Indians used child labor also..... ;) ::)
