Woodcraft that grows with your students.

A hands-on creative programme for children aged 4+, delivered in your school by our team, with everything included.

​

Programme formats

  • After-school club · once or twice a week, by term · ages 4+. Sessions of up to 1 hour per group; projects build across the term.

  • Curriculum enrichment · during the school day · ages 4+. Linked to art, design, maths (shapes, 3D thinking) or seasonal themes.

  • Holiday camps · Christmas, Easter and summer breaks · ages 4–10. Morning camps mixing nature, art and woodcraft, like our Winter Camp 2026.

  • Special events · one-off · all ages. Family days, school fairs, open days and celebrations.

​

What children do

  • Preschool (4–6): puzzle and slot-together projects. Shapes are pre-drawn on the wood, the facilitator cuts, and children sand, paint, assemble and play.

  • Primary (6+): children plan their own designs and use the child-sized machine themselves, under supervision, to build toys, 3D stars, trees and birdhouses.

  • Every session includes a sensory sanding exercise, safe tool use and time to talk about what they made.

​

Benefits for your students

​

How it works

  1. Get in touch: tell us your school, age groups and preferred days.

  2. Receive a proposal: a tailored plan with formats, timetable and pricing, plus videos of our sessions.

  3. Trial session (optional): we run a sample class so students and staff can see it in action.

  4. We take care of everything: machine, wood, materials, facilitators and safety.

  5. Share the results: children take their creations home, and families can join an end-of-term showcase.

​

Safety

Our child-sized carpentry machine is designed for young makers. Projects are adapted to each age group, preschool cutting is done only by the facilitator, and every session is led by experienced, trained facilitators.
