Woodworking is an art that isn’t taught often. Most schools have discontinued teaching it and it seems to be a skill that is easily becoming forgotten. What I love most about homeschooling is that I am able to teach my kids skills that they aren’t getting in a real school setting and tailor it to what they are interested in.

Woodworking is a great way for kids to be creative and learn how to use basic tools that can help with math as well. It really is an amazing skill to teach your kids that can be used in so many aspects of life. It’s great for free time to have your kids create things as well. So what do you do if you want to teach your kids carpentry skills but you don’t have any skills yourself? It doesn’t have to be difficult or overwhleming to introduce basic carpentry to your children. This Simple Balance has some great tips for the novice wood worker on how to get started.
