  • are the perfect resource for unit of inquiries & project work

  • encourage TEAMWORK & team building

  • have the potential for follow-up activities

  • help with building confidence (especially in Term 1) as the children work on their project, work together & connect with their (new) peers through a shared activity

The perfect confidence boosting activity for any term, including (or especially) the START-OF-THE-YEAR!

While our Woodwork Packs are perfect for any time of the year, they can be especially beneficial for TERM 1.

Perfect for a start-of-the-year BONDING activity for children to get to know each other as they are still getting used to their new surroundings and peers.

Some teachers use our Woodwork PACKS as an OPPORTUNITY for their younger students to make the wooden toy and their older Grade buddies to “help” them, as they communicate & bond as a TEAM. (We LOVE that idea!)

With the Woodwork Pack Activity the children get to work on their projects while:

  • COMMUNICATING with others

  • Working as a TEAM & CO-OPERATING

  • CONNECTING with others

  • building CONFIDENCE

  • enjoying being CREATIVE together

  • feeling PROUD of their own creations

  • feeling a sense of ACHIEVEMENT

The positive feedback just keeps coming… 

“The children immersed themselves in the project.”

Trish, 4-Year-Old Kindergarten Teacher, St Mary’s Kindergarten, Brighton

“Great way to assess their fine motor and problem solving skills.”

Padmini, 4-Year-Old Early Childhood Teacher, Dandenong West Primary Kindergarten

Teachers also LOVE the fact that the Woodwork PACKS give them more flexibility to conduct the woodwork activity at their own convenience in small groups of 5 to 6 children at a time. The fun engaging step-by-step VIDEO tutorial can be played over and over for each group.

Teachers just love the possibilities.

It was such an amazing success

“It was such an amazing success. They all watched the video so carefully at the beginning. I think they thought it was like a Zoom meeting and Jim was actually there - they answered all of his questions and then called out goodbye & thank you at the end.”

“The actual making of the planes went so well. This term we have been working on positive coping and problem solving skills so this activity was like a test of everything they have been learning. Happy to say it all went well and they definitely put their skills to work.”

“Thank you so much for making this experience so enjoyable and easy to access. I think it's become the highlight of my year!
