Ignite your kid’s creativity this autumn with our creative woodworking camp, organised in collaboration with Knock on Wood.
Supervised by 2 specialised and passionate professional instructors, children will be given a gentle introduction to woodworking and learn the basics.
During the workshop, they will be invited to familiarise themselves with the handling of various woodworking tools. They’ll learn how to cut, saw, assemble, nail, sand and hammer wood, and how to shape it into all sorts of forms.
The skilled instructors will inform them of the safety rules in place to ensure that the activity runs smoothly.
As well as learning practical skills, children will also have the freedom to put what they have learnt into practice by working on individual wood projects of their choice, according to their aspirations and desires. This will allow them to explore their creativity and develop problem-solving skills while tackling the challenges that arise in the process. Furthermore, the methodology taught is specifically designed to match the skill level of young learners, making it easy to understand and follow.
This introduction to woodworking is an excellent way to cultivate your child’s creativity while developing their motor skills. Secure their spots today and let your kids’ woodworking dreams take shape!
