My Project

Students enjoy having the opportunity to handle tools and create wood projects they can keep. I want to bring tools and creative wood crafts to school as it is proven that when students handle tools it can significantly aid their learning and development. It enhances fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving abilities. Additionally, it boosts confidence, fosters creativity, and encourages independence. I want to give them the opportunity to do that! By handling these tools and having the portable tables, I can plan and create wood crafts for students to enjoy making.
