DIY Treasure Box

Level: Intermediate

Intermediate projects can typically be completed with 1-3 tools. Assembly can be completed in 45 - 75 minutes, and we recommend 60 - 90 minutes for planning and personalization. This project is appropriate for students in grades 3 and above.

Objective: Construct a DIY treasure box

Students will use basic carpentry skills to build their very own DIY treasure box. Students will have an opportunity to get creative and decorate their treasure boxes, making them a perfect gift or household decoration.

Instructors then have an opportunity to reinforce learnings by prompting questions such as:

• What skills were required for you to assemble the treasure box?

• What will you store in your treasure box?

• What is the importance of aligning your wood parts to be flush with one another when constructing your treasure box?
