For my grandkids first trip I had a bird house already made one. They got to pick out the wood to make one each from. Then draw out what needed to be cut. I would do the cuts for them based on their skills, the oldest got to use the jigsaw on his own. Then they all got portable drills ans screws. Once completed they each got to sand and paint. Now they beg my daughter to take them to the shop. I just have to make sure I have spare materials around in case they just pop in to poppy’s shop.
