About
The Little Carpenters is a creative project where children explore crafts, art and technology through hands-on learning. Using a safe and child-friendly miniature carpentry machine, children design and build their own wooden toys, bringing their imagination to life.
Children not only learn to use tools, but also to integrate painting, sculpting and storytelling into their creations.
Our workshops encourage problem solving, creativity and confidence by combining traditional crafts with modern artistic techniques.
In addition to making toys, The Little Carpenters works with schools, art programs, and community projects, offering expressive art classes, stop-motion animation workshops, and team-building activities.
More than just making toys
In addition to building, The Little Carpenters works with schools, arts programs, and community projects to provide expressive art classes, stop-motion animation workshops, and team-building activities. Our goal is to provide children with a space to explore, experiment, and grow through art and craft.
Art is not just creation, it is a way of seeing the world.
When a child creates with their hands, they also build dreams, confidence and limitless imagination.
The Little Carpenters
Early ages (under 6 years old)
Young children are naturally drawn to sensory exploration and, although they do not yet have the fine motor skills to use the machine independently, they are active participants in the creative process. With the help of an instructor, they can safely cut wood and shape materials, but they generally enjoy the painting and decorating phase most. This is in line with their shorter attention spans and growing motor skills. Studies on early childhood development show that tactile activities such as painting and crafts improve cognitive flexibility, fine motor skills and emotional expression.
More than 6 years
Children aged 6+ develop improved motor control, focus and spatial awareness, enabling them to independently use our child-friendly miniature woodworking machine under supervision. At this stage, they can plan, design and build more complex projects, strengthening their problem-solving and perseverance skills. Research in constructivist learning theory highlights how hands-on projects at this age foster critical thinking, self-confidence and creativity – all essential for lifelong learning.
