Whittling it’s fun and there is many different ways and techniches to do it. It is an activity when you take a knife and cut a small twig until the tip of the twig is sharp. If you are under the age of 8 have an adult watch you while you are using the knife. One piece of advice is to not try and take off big chunks of the twig at a time, you want to just take off small strips of the twig. As you can see in this picture you do not want to put your fingers in front of the knife because you can cut yourself. What you want to do put tension on the back of the knife and cut very slowly. If you are using something like a pocket knife and the blade can close on your finger you could use a knife like this knife. If you were to cut yourself you would want to treat it with something immediately
