Tool Treasurer
You are the expert on tools! You know which tools work best on specific
tasks, how to make the tools, and which elements to use in order to make the
right kind. Remember, the natural resources you need are available, so find
out what was used and see if you can improve on it for the tasks your group
has. You will need to know which tools each one needs, how to make them,
the specific items you'll need and you'll know how to get those items.
You may not "find" all of the items you would like to make, so use your
resources and your advanced knowledge: how can the tools you make, make life
then a bit easier? Which tools are most urgent? Why? How can they be
improved upon for later use?
Make sure each person in your group understands how to use their tool, and
that the artist also knows which tools do what so they can draw them
correctly. Have fun creating!!
Cool Tools!
