Dhs. 495.00
Dhs. 495.00
Key Points
  • Build a working wooden acrobat toy with moving parts
  • Mark and measure for accurate part placement
  • Drill clean pivot holes for smooth motion (no machines)
  • Shape and sand small parts for safe, rounded edges
  • Hand-fit joints so the acrobat swings freely
  • Improve alignment for straight posts and a level bar
  • Assemble with neat glue control and tidy finishing
  • Take home a finished moving toy with guided support

This wooden acrobat toy is pure satisfaction—kids build a character that actually moves, then test it again and again to perfect the swing. It’s playful, hands-on, and teaches real precision because every pivot point affects how smoothly it performs.

This is a premium, fundamentals-building workshop using hand tools only. Students work with solid wood in small groups (max 6) with instructor-led, step-by-step guidance, developing confidence through accurate layout, careful drilling, and hand-fitting for motion. Over two sessions, they learn safe habits, neat assembly, and furniture-style finishing—then take home a toy they’re proud to show off.

  • Measuring and marking: centerlines, symmetry, and consistent part sizing
  • Hand-sawing and trimming: refining small pieces safely (no machines)
  • Hand drilling: straight, clean pivot holes and accurate spacing (no machines)
  • Shaping: rounding edges and smoothing corners for safe handling
  • Hand-fitting: testing movement, adjusting friction, and improving swing motion
