I use my little meat tenderizer mallet to drive nails many times.

And, all my sterling silver soup spoons are flattened on the bottom from
my son and daughter using them in the sandbox to flatten and tamp down
their "cakes." Funny, we couldn't afford to buy little shovels for
them, but had two sets of sterling flatware for them to use for play!

Lovely image that conjures up--the importance of your kids and
their play as vs. inanimate objects! I love it!
