1. How to Build a Toolbox
Age Range: 7 and up
If your little builders inherited the DIY gene, then they're more or less programmed to dive into
Mom and Dad's tools. So maybe you should think about giving the handy helpers their own set--the
better to get them involved while keeping your precious collection from getting trashed.
This toolbox is just the thing to hold
smaller, basic items that fit a young
do-it-yourselfer's hands, including a
hammer, saws, pliers, and
screwdrivers. Building it is easy: The
tools required are probably already in
your stash, and the materials are
readily available at a home center and
a sporting goods store. Set yourself up
on a sturdy worktable--in the
workshop, the garage, even the
playroom. The fun is in having
something for everyone to do and
getting in good practice for future projects.
