Research Abstract	This project reseached skills of elementary school to use a knife and a wood-saw at Tokyo, Aichi and Wakayama. The number of children was about 400. This reseach found that a skill of a child did not develop straight and a development of a skill changed qualitatively at the age of about nine. Seven-year-old children completed a work in a short time, but the results were bad. Nine-year-old completed a work slowly and the results were good. Eleven-year-old completed a work in a short time and the results were better.
