Teaching the Little Ones


Recommended Posts

I would say the 8yo is certainly old enough.  The 5yo might be, depending on maturity and interest.

 

I would have them make a toy of some sort.  A simple car cut from 3/4" wood, a dowl and a couple wheels from a craft store would be perfect.  Plus, they get to paint them, which they have a ton of fun with.  Here's a few I made for my son.

Here's a bunny car pattern, just in time for Easter.

Here's a bunny puzzle that would be pretty easy too.

You can make a rainbow or a cave really easy.  Just take some 3/4" poplar and cut some wavy lines.  This is perfect so they don't have to be so concerned about following the line.  Have them sand down the edges and paint them with craft paints.  I know my son loved playing with these type of toys.  They're very popular on etsy and really encourages imaginative play.
