i totally agree about not buying cheap tools, when i first started woodworking i didnt listen to my dear husband and bought good tools i would have saved alot of money and alot of grief. thank you for letting people know hopefully they make that mistake

Building wooden projects with kids has definitely been a fun and rewarding experience for me and my nephews. Its a great pastime for bonding with them, and when they use their imagination you can get some pretty cool results.

Thanks for the great tips Derek!

Great post. We homeschooled all three of our children and loved doing things together. Woodworking was one of those things. Thanks.

What a great way for children to experiment with something that may turn into a lifetime hobby. I would think that storage boxes would be an easy place to start. And they’d be so useful!

One easy suggestion to do with kids is to do simple wood sculptures. Find some scrap wood at a local lumber yard. Or find some of the local handymen and see if they have some scraps. The cool thing is kids will see the various sizes and shapes from the scrapes and explore to see how the shapes will interact with one another.

Another great source for woodscraps.. or even ideas for projects are Habitat for Humanity Re-Stores. There are lots around my area, not sure about the rest of the country though.
I am amazed at the things my little boy can make himself; it’s such a cool way for him to learn physics (among other things). But two nights ago he build a tipi-like house out of old cedar shank shingles (N.England thing) by perfectly balancing different sizes and shapes of wood. I SO wanted a picture but the light wasn’t very good.
He builds lots of little things for the house with his dad (I am not such a woodworker) but dad’s skills are rubbing off on him so quickly.
We get the benefit of him feeling very special and we get great things for round the house!
(PS I don’t have a daughter, but I assure you, if I did (and she wanted) she’d be doing these things with dad too! My high school woodwork teacher was a woman!)
