I am a complete novice at woodworking. Actually, I have ZERO experience with this. However, I homeschool my 2 kids and they are dying to work with wood. I want desperately to do this for them as well as myself but feel so intimidated by it all. I’ll be sure and go this site and hope that it will help.

Thanks for this site and any advice that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

I have found myself “volunteered” to lead our annnual “JC’s Workshop” portion of our church’s 6 week long childrens’ Lenten program. Each week I will work with a different age level of children from preschool through high school. In the past, as I recall, each child has made a bird feeder, a bird house, a paper towel holder, a leaning book shelf,a bug box, and last year they made a “twirl in the wind garden spinner” thing. I have scoured the internet for ideas and coming up short. I’ve considered telling more background information, introducing the children to tools and backing away from the idea that they each need a finished project to take home. 4 of the 5 other weeks will offer them a “take home” project.

Do you have any ideas for a simple woodworking project?

We’ve always done the necessary legwork ahead of time so the kids aren’t exposed to power tools…except for the occasional drill as needed.

Hello,

Thanks for this article and the comments! We have a three year old who loves to vacuum the shop which is quite a job because of the amount of woodworking we do. We also teach him about safety, tools and the differences in woods by hands on experience.

Great blog and great tips to say the least. I agree wholeheartedly with what you note here, least of not which is simply sharing the experience of building the project with your kids. It’s not just the type of project, it’s that the project you’re doing together exists at all. Great work.

I’ve been focusing on a go kart, http://thegokart.wordpress.com, for my three young boys and the experience has been priceless.

Thanks for the suggestions! My three-year-old is also good at being an “official question-asker” (aren’t ALL three-year-olds?) and loves to use her measuring tape. (Pretty much everything comes out as being “sixteen.”) I love the idea of setting up some half-started nails and screws for her to finish–I’ll definitely give that a try.
