With more than 50 projects, children can begin with simple ideas and gradually work towards more challenging creations as their skills and confidence grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe projects are varied and full of character. Children can carve birds, pigs, dogs, dolphins and other animals, make spinning tops and games, create jewellery and small toys, or craft useful pieces for the home and garden such as plant labels, picture frames, signs, pencils and coat hooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a lovely book for children who enjoy being outdoors and making things with their hands, but it’s also an invitation for grown-ups to join in. Head outside to find a fallen branch, sit together with a handful of simple tools and slowly discover what might be hiding inside the wood. Along the way, children develop patience, concentration, creativity and dexterity while learning a practical skill they can continue to enjoy for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 180 colour illustrations, clear instructions and projects graded for different abilities, this is a beautiful resource for budding woodworkers and adventurous makers aged approximately 6–99 year olds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.littlereefandfriends.co.nz\/collections\/kids-at-work-by-corvus\"\u003eKids at Work\u003c\/a\u003e whittling tools for everything needed to begin exploring this wonderful hands-on craft.
