At first I was a bit skeptical to see if it was something that my kids were able to do. Were these age appropriate? Was it safe enough for them to do? Do I need to intervene or do I just let them do it on their own. A lot of different questions pondered through before we actually started the project.
The kits come in a plastic bag to keep it safe from kids because it does require adult supervision. It comes with small nails that need to be hammered in, so it’s best that adults are present at all times.

Here was little brother attempting to use the hammer to nail. We have a mini hammer that came with a building kit for book shelf we had, so it worked out perfect for this project.
At first he just wanted to hammer everything that looked like it needed to be connected, but after we went over the map once again, he was able to follow the directions better. The nails are small so it doesn’t requires a few taps for it to go through the wooden pieces.
This is where sister took upon herself to nail with the hammer. She read the directions that said to use the corner of the table to give you a little bit of leverage to hammer. Holding a tight grip on the wooden piece in one hand and the hammer on the other, she was able to put pressure on the connectors. She looked like a pro working on the kit.
She continue the steps provided to get this DIY playset for kids to be finished. Following each step, without much assistance, she was able to complete the project. The kit built a soccer playing set with a goalie and a kicker. What was awesome was that you can maneuver each character through a piece on the back of each one.
Once the project was completed, these were some of the photos that were captured.
