Thanks to the COVID situation, we know many families are spending a lot more time at home together. And while that can be a blessing, let’s be honest—it can also be a lot. Keeping kids entertained, engaged, and off screens for more than five minutes can feel like an Olympic sport.
That’s where woodworking with kids comes in.
Working on projects together isn’t just a great way to pass the time—it’s an opportunity to teach valuable skills, boost confidence, and create lasting memories. Plus, when little hands stay busy, stress levels stay low (for everyone). Whether you’re building simple toys, small furniture, or just letting them hammer away at some scrap wood, woodworking can be a fun and rewarding way to spend quality time with your kids.
To make things easy, we’ve gathered all of our kid-friendly woodworking projects in one place. Whether you have a toddler who loves to “help” or an older child ready to tackle real builds, there’s something here for every skill level. So grab some wood, dust off those tools, and let’s make some sawdust—together!
