Fun and hobby-related projects like a birdhouse, toss across game, and catapult!

Handy projects like a tool carrier and workbench.

Gifts, including a picture frame and jewelry box.

With clearly written steps and helpful photographs the aim is for kids to lead. STEAM/STEM learning opportunities are part of the fun as well! Supplemental facts and explorations accompany the projects throughout the book. Kids are encouraged to develop a maker mentality, fostering creative problem-solving and open-ended exploration. Build and explore in the wood shop!
