Mini Projects by Build With Me are the perfect introduction to real woodworking for young makers. Each kit includes pre-cut timber, screws, and nails, along with clear, step-by-step instructions so children can enjoy a safe, rewarding hands-on experience.Because every child’s ability is different, adult involvement can be adapted from close guidance with preschoolers to giving older children the chance to take on the challenge more independently.Woodwork offers something truly unique: it nurtures creativity, builds confidence, and encourages a positive “I can do it” attitude. With Mini Projects, kids don’t just build with their hands they build with their minds and hearts too.

Build Box and Tool Essential

Bought as a gift for grandchild so not seen or used as yet. I know he is going to love it though. Quick delivery, great communication.

Incredible

Build With Me were incredible to work with with fast easy communication and super helpful. We ordered a lot of the build sets for a holiday activity for kids and they (and the parents) absolutely loved it. Super easy instructions to follow too.

Perfect for little hands

These nails are not too thick, so easy for children to hammer in, and the big flat head gives them a good surface to hit. Always our go-to for construction.

Great

Very helpful and enjoyed by the builder

An awesome gift for a five year old!

Great little products. Our five year old loved his tools and his 14yo brother helped him build his toolbox. The boys are very busy outside a lot now!
