If your child is interested in building things and can safely handle basic tools under supervision, they may be ready for woodworking lessons. Attention to detail and patience are key indicators.
Woodworking classes typically cost between $50 and $150 per session, which may include materials and tools. Some classes might have additional fees for specific projects.
Look for instructors with experience in carpentry or woodworking, as well as a history of teaching children. Certifications in safety and tool handling are also important.
Your child can learn by using woodworking kits at home, watching online tutorials, and practicing simple projects with a family member who has experience in woodworking.
Children as young as 8 or 9 can begin learning basic woodworking skills, provided they have the necessary maturity to handle tools safely.
