This project is super kid friendly, I tested it at my 6 year old daughter's birthday party and all the girls absolutely loved building their own project . We used kid sized drills (like these kid sized drills) and they truly enjoyed painting their bookends:
Here they are all lined up drying outside:
Materials: (for 1 bookend)
- 1 – 1 x 4 @ 5″ (base)
- 1 – 1 x 4 @ 4 3/4″ (side)
- 1 – 4″ wood letter (available here)
- Drill and countersink bit
- Wood glue
- 4 – 1 1/4″ #8 wood screws
- Circle cutter (if desired), punch & string
- Acrylic paint & brushes
Instructions:
Note: An adult should complete Steps 1 – 3 to cut and predrill the pieces beforehand.
Step 1: Cut pine boards to size.
Step 2: Pre-drill two holes down through the 5″ (base) piece and into the end of the 4″ side using a countersink bit.
Step 3: Center wood letter on base piece and predrill two holes down through base into letter.
Now we're ready for kids to build.
Step 4: Attach the side piece to base first. Set two screws in position but not all the way down.
Step 5: Apply wood glue to short side piece where the holes are predrilled. Then place base piece on top creating an 'L' (upside down) and finish attaching screws flush.
Step 6: Apply wood glue to base of wood letter and screw in place. It's much easier if you let the L portion hang off the edge of the table (see picture).
Step 7: To give as a gift, print out the project tag (free download here), cut with a circle cutter, punch hole at top and attach with string.

Marguerite95% Solar PoweredPersonalized Bookends
In 1971, Damhorst Toys manufactured the first ever personalized wooden name puzzle stool, patterned after a jigsaw puzzle. Made in America, the name puzzle stool became an instant hit. By design, it taught small children hand-eye coordination as they struggled with and then mastered proper placement of the puzzle pieces. It taught them to recognize shapes and distinguish one letter and one color from the next, and to spell their name. It also instilled a sense of independence while brushing their teeth, reaching up into a closet, and having their own 'chair' to sit on while reading. Today, our products include a personalized baby block, child's chair, coat rack, wooden name puzzle, numbered puzzle, alphabet puzzle, name train, bookends, and learning letters.
