Built a workbench with my kids this summer
Wanted to get them interested in actually building something so we designed and built a basic workbench together. My 9 year old nailed most of the screws and my 6 year old was the official painter. Was messy and took forever but seeing them proud of what we made was awesome. Plus now they want to actually help in the garage instead of just watching screens.
Love this. My kids and I built a simple shelf system in the garage and suddenly they wanted to build everything. It's like flipped a switch for them. Now they actually ask to help with projects instead of just wanting to be on screens.
