Kids @ Among The Trees
Our kids courses are the perfect opportunity for kids and their parents or guardians to work together, learn some woodworking skills, and take something beautiful and handmade home.
Each course looks at the properties and history of timber, the value of sustainability and recycled materials, and using hand woodworking tools in a safe and supportive environment.
Our kids-only courses
Wooden noughts and crosses making
This fun and simple course sees you making a noughts and crosses set, learning skills such as measuring, sawing, gluing, nailing, sanding, and more. This course is perfect for children with no experience or exposure to woodwork.
Wooden car making
Our wooden car making course sees you and your child making one or more timber cars and then sliding them down our timber mega slide at the end of the session. A fantastic introduction to woodwork for young kids, we recommend doing this course after taking part in the noughts and crosses course.
Timber pencil box making
This two day course sees you and your child making a beautiful timber pencil box with a pivoting lid and a round end detail. A slightly more advanced course, we recommend doing this course after the toy car making.
2x 4 hour sessions, over 2 days
For ages 8-12, with guardians present
Timber step stool course
This is a great introduction to woodwork course for anyone who would like to be introduced to the joys of working with wood, and in particular working with second-hand timbers that would otherwise be heading to landfill. This is the same course as our all-ages step stool course but only for children.
6 hours plus a lunch break
For ages 10-15, with guardians present
We host a range of kids courses, both as part of our course calendar and for group bookings, eg. for homeschooling groups. If you'd like to book a group session, get in touch!
