Woodworking doesn’t just need to be for furniture and things that interest adults. These skills can be used to create toys for kids of all ages. We’re going to start young and create our own stacker toy for infants and toddlers. If you’ve ever looked at a baby’s toys then you’ve seen thousands of stackers by now. They’re simple toys which infants use to learn about spatial relationships. Typically made of plastic, they’re pretty generic.

But if you make one out of wood, you can create an even higher quality toy that has some meaning behind it. It means something to look back and see that your parents made toys for you. They didn’t just go out and purchase them, they spent time thinking about and perfecting them for you to play with. There’s nothing but love in that. So give these toys a try to show your kids how much you care. Plus, as your kids get older, there will come a time when they’ll join you in learning how to make their own toys. It’s a great bonding experience and it helps teach skills that can pay bills.

Tools You’ll Need:

A saw (a jigsaw is best).

An electric drill.

Wood glue.

Sandpaper.

A pencil.

Scissors.

Optional but helpful: A computer with a scanner and a printer.
