Setting aside time and space for DIY wood work for kids projects inspires creativity, confidence and builds self-esteem. Many lessons can be learned from wood building for kids with parents and carpentry projects, including follow-through, persistence and the knowledge that the child can build something that can be used for years to come. In addition, wood building for kids and family carpentry ventures teach a lot about practical mathematics applications, as they must take into account how many nails and screws are needed, how many turns of the screwdriver and how shapes and planes fit together, as well as planning, measuring and how to use kids' tools safely and effectively.
