My daughters (3yo and 7 yo) and I are continuing the K2 build. Both daughters are now capable of holding the soldering iron and the solder during soldering. They take turns now: one holding the solder and the other holding the iron. Both are sitting on my lap when soldering is done.
Needless to say, the 7 year old is steadier than the 3 year old but both are capable. No obvious cold solders and Dad occasionally reflows the joint when suspicious. I am having them do only resistors/capacitors. No semiconductors. I haven't tried having the 7 year old hold both the solder and the iron at the same time but will try in the next few days. I don't think the 3 year old can hold both. tnx.
