Woodwork Projects to Involve the Kids

Looking for a way to get the kids involved in diy woodworking?  It's a great idea. You share quality, family time with the children while teaching them a valuable life skill that will serve them well for their entire life.

I've just discovered a wonderful book that gets you started.  The Kids' Building Workshop: 15 Woodworking Projects for Kids and Parents to Build Together  by  Craig Robertson and Barbara Robertson takes you through 15 woodworking projects that are kid-friendly.

The projects include a bird houses, a tool box, a cricket cage, and a stool. Full and complete instructions and pictures are available for each project, and the projects increase in difficulty as you move through the book.  There is also a section on tools and tool handling.

The reading level is 9 to 12. You can get the book at Amazon (ISBN-10: 1580174884)

As in any woodwork project, safety is paramount.
