Woodworking is the best way to enhance a kid’s puzzle solving skills and unleash their hidden creativity. It is natural for kids to be excited when working with small wood projects. Every little project that he could finish will improve his self-esteem and slowly improve his skills. Who knows? Your kid may be the next woodworking master in the future.

Age is sometimes an issue, but young kids of any age can help with a project. Pick something basic, such as an easy shelf, a small chair or a bird house. Ask your child what he or she would like to make. Parents should always have some involvement in the woodworking projects with the kids. Pencil boxes, pen holders, small boxes and toys are some other projects that are quite easy to do. Kids love them because they can be used for storing their own pens and pencils, etc. and can show them off to their friends. They can also make frames for photos or displays for various small items, etc.

Well, it would need to be something pretty straightforward and easy, so they don’t get frustrated. It would also need to be fairly quick, as we all know that the attention span of kids isn’t great and they could easily toddle off and find something else to do if they become bored.

Another question is at what age your children can start woodworking. A safe age is at seven years old, but there’s plenty of kids that start earlier than that. Basically, if your kid shows genuine interest you can start by giving them a small hammer and a nail. If they really like it, you might consider building or buying them a small children’s workbench.

You would think, with the great imagination children have, that they would never get bored. Unfortunately, we know all too well that isn’t true. In order to combat this why not research some woodworking projects for kids and get them involved in something that will challenge them whilst at the same time build their self esteem and boost their confidence?
