Children are interested in almost everything that you wont let them have. I'm sure that this activity will not be for everyone, and that's ok. In our home we feel better about allowing our son to explore and learn to use things safely as opposed to hiding things away and locking things up. I knew my son would love this because he loves helping us build a fire in our fire pit, and he loves "tools". There are actually several things about this activity that stimulate the senses and lead to a lot of dialogue - the warmth of the handle, the crackle of the wood burning, the smell of the smoke, etc.
This is just another art medium - another way of allowing him to be creative. :)
