Wooden Friend
Our gentlest project, perfect for younger children. A friendly little wooden character they shape, sand, and make their own, then proudly carry home.
A hands-on field trip where your class discovers where wood comes from, how it works, and then builds something real with their own hands, to carry home the same day.
This is one combined experience, not two separate visits. Every child starts by learning all about wood, where it grows, the different kinds, why it is such a wonderful material to work with. Then, hands guided by our instructors, they build a real wooden project to take home. Learning and making happen in the same joyful morning, so the lesson sticks.
Every child learns about wood, then builds one of these to take home. Pick by age and confidence. A single group can mix both across the class.

A step up for older children, with a few more parts to measure, assemble, and finish. A useful desk piece they will actually use back at school and at home.
Teachers turn up with their class and nothing else. We handle the rest.
