I've got a 5 year old son, and a 7 year old daughter who are both very interested in making projects of their own in my workshop.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on plans, projects, etc that I can prepare ahead of time and then have them work on to stay busy, while I am working myself?
The really just love being with me in the shop, and aside from cleaning up the wood chips, I want them to learn something, and have a project to take away?
My daughter also wants a birthday party with 4 of her friends to work on a project themselves, so probably 1.5 hours worth of their time is all I can expect.
I'm thinking glue, sanding, paint, screws, etc at this stage, I figure I'll keep them away from the sharp tools for a while.
Any suggestions from parents would be appreciated.
