You can also contact a local lumberyard or woodcrafter. Make sure that wood scraps are sanded and free from splintered edges.
Older children can use sand paper to smooth off rough edges.
Provide children with a variety of wooden shapes. Place glue into small plastic containers. Place a craft stick or glue brush into each container for children to use when applying glue. Work with one or two children at a time. Older children can use a small hammer and nails to create a wood construction.
