Help! I have an 8-yr old that's forever finding boards to nail together and when he can't find them, he starts on my floors and furniture. I need a source for simple projects for him to build, other than the standard birdhouse kits. Please bear in mind that I know nothing about woodworking so the directions would need to be fairly simple for me to help him with it. Thanks from this harried Mom!:(

Thank you so much! I printed off 4 projects. He will be thrilled and OCCUPIED for a bit! And I'll find fewer nails and screws in unexpected places. Thanks again! Laurie
