There really isn’t too much better than building things for yourself. For me as a child, it was building houses and cars with Legos. I never had the opportunity back then to work with wood building kits like the ones featured here. And as an adult, I’m actually debating buying one for myself (for those interested, I think the Leonardo Da Vinci Catapult Kit is beautiful!).<\/p>\n

Check out these wood building kits for kids! We really don’t think you can go wrong with any of them, but for children, we particularly like the first two and anything made by Wood Worx.<\/p>\n

Leonardo da Vinci Catapult Kit<\/a><\/h3>\n

Recommended Ages: 8 years or older<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Leonardo<\/a><\/p>\n

8 years is the recommended minimum age but builders that young may still need parental supervision.<\/p>\n

The catapult itself is a solid design (yet not perfect which can lead to engineering discussions) that can launch objects for at least 20 feet.<\/p>\n

Mechanical Gears Tower Coaster<\/a><\/h3>\n

Recommended Ages: 14 years or older<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

14 years is the recommended minimum age, but younger builders can complete this project. It just make take more patience and persistence. Also, parental supervision and guidance would be helpful.<\/p>\n

Marble runs are fairly popular, but this is one that really puts a kid’s (or even an adult’s) construction skills to the test. The construction is sturdy enough that you can enjoy the “play” aspect long after the building portion is completed.<\/p>\n

Note that this is a build-it-once modeling kit. It is unlikely you would be able to deconstruct in a way that will enable it to be built again.<\/p>\n

It’s a fun build and can launch small objects at least 20 feet in the air.<\/p>\n

Also, a solid build that can last through much-repeated use.<\/p>\n
