In prehistoric times it seems more likely to me that the kids would be taught to use and make tools from the get go. We know that playing with edged weapons and tools is common amongst tribal communities today, just as it was in my fifties western childhood. For sure using blunt weapons for technical practice has been common in training for war across the ages but I wouldnâ(TM)t have thought it likely in the paleo period.
