Carpentry encourages tamariki to explore the properties of different materials (wood, nails, glue, etc.) and the concepts of structure, balance, and design. Carpentry play provides tamariki with an opportunity to explore, create, communicate, and contribute to their environment in a meaningful and hands-on way. Through carpentry, tamariki can develop fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and creativity.
