[edit] Kid's Cubby House
Long gone are the days of throwing an old sheet over a table and pretending it's a cubby. Shirl and Rebecca create a 'shop cubbyhouse' complete with shutters and front counter. Not only will it be the perfect play house, it will be built to work for parents as well — suitably constructed with a set of castors, the cubby can be wheeled to any location that suits.

[edit] Outdoor Balance Beam
Build a balance beam to keep the kids busy while you enjoy the back yard. It's easy to build, lasts a long time and can be transformed into a garden bench once the kids are grown.
[edit] Rabbit hutch - A-frame
Rabbits need plenty of room to hop around and a separate enclosed sleeping area that provides shelter from the elements. They are social animals and should have a companion such as another rabbit or a guinea pig. The suggested (RSPCA) size of a hutch for two rabbits is 180cm x 90cm x 90cm. This allows them to stand up, play and find space to be on their own. Bedding straw should be replaced on a daily basis and the hutch should be cleaned thoroughly each week. Insect mesh around the hutch will protect the rabbits from mosquitoes and other insects.
[edit] Aeroplane, 1899 Wright Kite
The 1899 Wright Kite is a fairly simple project to make, if you’d like to build one. It’s also an excellent project for young people, if you happen to have a class or a group of kids who are interested in aviation. Not only does it teach them the basics of aircraft design and control, it gets them hands on with one of the most important events in aviation history.”
