Do It Yourself Kid's Woodwork Guides from Lowe's

These illustrated, step by step building guides include complete material shopping lists.

 

Birdhouse

Building a birdhouse is a perfect activity for adults to share with their children or grandchildren. It can be used to teach about birds, as well as the proper use of tools.

 

Rocking Horse

Perhaps you have a child who would benefit from an all-time classic wooden toy—or maybe a member of your family is a collector of dolls, carousel horses or country furnishings. In any case, this article presents information on building a sturdy, old-fashioned rocking horse.

 

Wooden Toy Car

This project is intended primarily for adults to share with children - a family project which can be used to teach woodworking skills and the proper use of tools. Of course, you can build the car for any reason you'd like. Maybe you fancy cars, or maybe someone in your family does. This swoopy coupe would make a great gift.

 

Trundle Bed

When your toddler graduates from a crib to a bed, it is the perfect time to re-evaluate her bedroom and make any necessary design changes. More than likely, the biggest piece of furniture to change (and the one with the biggest price tag) is the bed. Therefore, longevity and quality are important considerations when it comes to choosing one.

 

Classic Wooden Sled

Build this sweet little sled, which would make a great gift for any snow-loving child you may know.

 

Lemonade Stand

This brightly colored refreshment cart will bring a taste of the Caribbean to any neighborhood. Whether entertaining poolside or selling lemonade curbside, you and your kids can enjoy and use this project all summer.

 

Toy Box

A toy box is a treasure chest for a child. Opening the the lid opens the door to a new world of possibilities, limited only by the imagination. If your treasured person isn't a child, this piece also makes an attractive storage bench.

 

Doll Cradle

Whether it's home to a child's latest dolly or a collector's prize possession, a hand-made cradle is a wonderful gift and a fulfilling project. The cradle also makes a nice toy box or an interesting conversation piece as an addition to your décor.

 

Dollhouse Hutch

Any child would like a place to play and call her own. This dollhouse hutch could be just the thing to delight your little one and provide a place for display. Painted to match the room, this piece of furniture makes the space welcoming.
