AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
In our workshops, we love watching how each child finds their own rhythm.
We see quiet kids start out taking gentle, cautious steps, only to walk out the door standing a little taller, absolutely beaming with what they’ve made.
Energetic kids surprise everyone—and sometimes themselves—by finding a peaceful focus in the simple, rhythmic motion of sanding.
Our little dreamers get to see their wildest ideas come to life, figuring out how the world works as they build. Even the most confident kids find a beautiful moment of grounding when they realize just how much care and heart goes into making something by hand.
No matter how they walk in, every child leaves with a proud smile, newfound confidence, and a discovery of strengths and skills they never knew they had inside them.
WHY WOOD WIZARDS
Emotional & Social
Sense of competence, confidence, responsibility, respect for self and others, respect for material and safety.
Cognitive/Intellectual
Mathematical thinking (size, shape, volume, measurement, directionality, geometry) engineering skills, creativity and inventiveness.
Physical
Eye-Hand coordination, strength and fine motor control.
Aesthetics
The natural scent and grain of wood and the joy of shaping it into smooth clean lines and curves—bringing your idea to life.
With the emphasis on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) in early childhood classrooms, the Wood Workshop provides Preschool and Primary School children a means to become makers, tinkerers and engineers.
INCLUSIVE WORKSHOPS
Our workshops are inclusive, we strive to extend our passion for creativity to every child, including those with special needs. We celebrate moments of triumph as each child, with their own pace and approach, unveils their creative potential. Our workshops are not just about crafting projects; they are about cultivating a supportive environment where every child can experience the joy of self-expression, discover newfound abilities, and leave with a sense of accomplishment and confidence, regardless of their unique challenges.
