A day at the shop… A lifetime of skills
KIDS BUILD empowers children with lifelong skills, teaching them how to use real hand tools in a super fun, safe, and creative environment ... so they can build the future!
“… building with friends and the satisfaction of creating something with your hands … We were so excited to find out about your program!”
“… a unique experience… great way to engage the mind of a five year old. He’s so proud of his art. It is on display in our living room.”
“I MADE THAT MYSELF! That was awesome.”
“I liked Auden getting into tools in a way that didn’t seem “gendered” (i.e. for boys) … Kids had a blast yesterday! Love those bird houses, SO CUTE!!! ”
“Mila had a great time!!! Trying something new that she wouldn’t experience at home… Thanks for making this happen!”
“Great chance for them to use their hands and think about how things are made...
So important for understanding the world.”
“It’s rare to see something for little kids that involves actual tools and real work. I love it. I think all kids (and adults) should be able to build. :) ”
“Thank you so much
and LOVE what you
are doing. Wren had a blast and we are still playing the
xylophone!”
“I love KIDS BUILD! Can I come back and make more cool stuff?”
SHOP NOW OPEN!
