Wooden Toy Camera Workshop

Workshop Description

Woodworking workshop for children. Design a beautiful toy camera using different types of wood. Workshop duration: 3 hours Recommended age: 8 and above, children 4-7 are welcome and must be accompanied by an adult. All our workshops begin with a safety briefing. (Even for returning students) Read more about our safety standards here. What to expect: Design and make your own wooden camera! To design their own camera, your child will work within the parameters of “what a camera should look like” and “how they want it to look.” Woodworking is a wonderful way to develop character. The smell and feel of wood, using real tools, working with a natural material, the sounds of hammering and sawing, hands and minds working together to express their imagination and to solve problems, the use of strength and coordination: all go together to captivate young children’s interest. What will I learn: - Workshop safety and behaviours - Using light hand tools (child appropriate) - Design and planning - How to make your 2D plan to prototype! - Wood processing methods: sawing, sanding, etc - Simple wood joining methods __________________ Additional details: - A short tea break is provided. - Attire: Please wear closed toe shoes to the venue. - Attire: Comfortable, No loose or flowy clothing. - No use of power tools for the safety of the children. - All personal PPE (personal protective equipment) will be provided *This activity requires a minimum of 4 persons to proceed.
