For ages 8-11 years old.
Making Wooden Toys Using a Drill Press is a one day workshop designed to give children between the ages of 8 – 11 years, a beginning foundation in woodworking techniques, specifically the drill press, which is a great tool for children to learn to use safely. In this workshop, children will receive instruction on using the drill press and will complete two toys: Climb the Mountain and Tic- Tac- Toe Board.
