It's fun. It's constructive and educational. It's woodworking for children! While constructing wooden projects ranging from paddle boats to trucks, book holders to bird feeders and toolboxes, children ages 5 to 12 develop woodworking skills with basic hand tools. Students begin by making a simple project while learning tool usage and safety procedures. After completing their first project, students choose from a wide variety of projects according to their individual interests. Designing their own projects is encouraged. Enroll in one session, or all of them! Every class accommodates both new and experienced students. Instructor Alex Brede has more than 30 years of experience teaching woodworking to children and adults. A teacher for the last 21 years at Larrabee and Cordata Elementary Schools, he has taught every grade from Kindergarten through 5th. Tools and materials are provided.
