I second this. Too many people have forgotten how to do things for themselves. Get him nice tools he will use and he will learn basic skills necessary later on in life. Since you mentioned he has a dirt bike and a sled, perhaps you could use them to teach him basic things like oil changes, light replacements, tire or track changes. This would allow you to spend time with your boy as well.
