Child’s wood stool made easy
I’m not sure this is the simplest child’s wood stool in the world, but it must be close to it. There’re a lot of variations to this 12” high stool using different stock lumber; this is probably the easiest and straightest forward to make using 1×4’s for the seat and skirts and 2×2 legs. And it’s strong using the overlapping joint for the leg connections.
Child’s book stand
We all have some book or manual that we keep at the ready on our desks. I have a few small manuals that I’m often reaching for, but they can be a source of desktop clutter. This desktop bookshelf keeps those in-demand books neat, tidy and accessible. Also, if you are like me and can’t bring yourself to throw away perfectly good pine scraps, this project offers the opportunity to use them productively.
The design is also quite versatile. You can build the shelf as wide or as narrow as you need simply by changing the length of the back and shelf bottom pieces. Simplicity, usefulness and good looks also are the reasons this project will be part of the 2011 Canadian Home Workshop Show. Budding woodworkers who participate in our Kids’ Corner interactive area will be able to build their own shelf, including custom features that make the work their own. Woodworking Projects for Kids.
Woodworking Projects for Kids: How to Build a Box
In this video, Jack and Drew demonstrate how to build a box. Building a box helps sharpen the fundamental skills needed to build more complex woodworking projects. The tools you will need for this project are: a handsaw, a hammer, corner clamps, speed square, tape measure and a pencil.
The first step to building a box is to cut all the pieces. Using the tape measure, make a mark at 4 inches. Don’t forget to mark an X on the side you are not going to use. Then extend the line all the way across the board with a speed square. Note: Measuring and marking is the key to any successful woodworking project. Woodworking Projects for Kids.

Woodworking Plans to Build a Restoration Hardware Inspired Mason Activity Table
When I saw this furniture piece, I knew I had to draw plans for it! I just knew…it was like the drafting fates were speaking to me through those fabulous interwebs and calling my name. So, needless to say, the plans were drawn and the fun begins! At least for all of you who might like to build this fine piece of furniture! I suppose I will have to expand my family a bit before I am able to build another activity table, since I already built this one for my boy, (pictures of that are here)! Today’s piece has tons of storage and drawers on both sides, for double the fun and twice the organization!
Tetromino bookshelves
A video-game fan will recognize the tetromino. In 1984, the arcade game Tetris was released, and we never looked at this geometric figure the same way again.
This modular shelf system is a playful spin on the Tetris game. The shelf components use simple measurements and bright colours to lend the perfect blend of playfulness and functionality to any child (or Tetris fan’s) room. The best part of this project is that by altering a single measurement or the number of the pieces you build or the order in which the pieces are stacked, you can make a shelving unit that is truly custom-made for your space.
You can use any 5/8″-thick material for this project—from medium-density fibreboard (MDF) to solid wood—or you can do as I did and use prepainted, 5/8″-thick x 11 1/4″-wide, bullnose-edge MDF shelving from a home-improvement center. Woodworking Projects for Kids.
Make a kid’s toy table
It’s a whiteboard? Is it a track for toy cars? No, it’s the lot! This super play centre has it all. This clever invention features a play space to set up a fantastic streetscape, a secret storage compartment, plus a removable top that’s a whiteboard on one side and blackboard on the other. It’s made of readily available, inexpensive materials and is easy to build. Fun for all!
