4) Intermediate Wooden Model Building Kit
UGEARS intermediate model kits make building a fun and engaging hands-on experience. These kits are geared towards older kids and adults looking for a more complex project. Each model is pieced together from flat, unfinished, laser-cut plywood parts that don’t need tools or glue to be assembled. The finished product has parts that move, too, to put these models in motion.
5) Cordage Making Card
The credit card sized, stainless steel cordage making tool creates rope from plastic bottles. The multifunctional cordage created from this tool can be used for hundreds of tasks including gardening and camping. One 2-liter bottle can create over 50 feet of line. Made in the USA.
