ALIF Little Makers – Age 4 Woodworking Module (8 Weeks)

Description

What Your 4-Year-Old Will Learn:

Your child will discover the joy of working with wood — safely and with your guidance. Through 8 weeks of storytelling and hands-on building, they will:

• Learn to identify different types of wood (by feel, color, and smell)

• Develop fine motor skills through sanding and simple assembly

• Understand basic tools (with supervision) — sandpaper, glue, clamps

• Create tangible objects they can hold and be proud of

• Build patience, focus, and pride in making something real

What’s Included:

• 8 Storybooks – Engaging tales about wood, forests, carpenters, and builders. Read on Friday nights.

• 8 Parent Guides – Simple, safe woodworking activities for Saturday mornings. Each activity takes 15-20 minutes.

• Materials List – Common items (sandpaper, wood scraps, child-safe glue, clothespins).

How It Works:

1. Friday Night: Read the storybook together. Let your child imagine themselves as a carpenter or builder.

2. Saturday Morning: Open the parent guide. It gives you simple, step-by-step instructions for a woodworking activity that is perfectly safe for 4-year-olds.

3. Watch Them Learn: Your child will develop hand strength, coordination, and the deep satisfaction of creating something with their own hands.
