Learn New Skills & Get Creative!

DIY for Campers!

Maker Monkey Building Kits are the perfect activity for engaging kids in hands-on, creative learning. Using basic woodworking skills, kids will complete simple but unique projects that work their fine-motor skills as much as their imaginations. 

All materials and tools are provided, as well as easy-to-follow written instructions & video tutorials. 

Treat your campers to an invaluable skillset and an experience they will remember!

Hammer Rentals/Returns

Additional savings are available for local groups or organizations who wish to return hammers after their workshop.

We use "kid-sized" 6" claw hammers. These are real hammers, just sized down to be more comfortable in a child's hand.

 

Hammers can be shipped back to Maker Monkey or dropped off after use. The customer is responsible for the cost of shipping back to Maker Monkey or drop-off.

A refund of $3/hammer will be applied upon return of hammers.

Long-term rentals for summer camps are available upon request.

MAKER MONKEY BEHIND THE SCENES
SUSTAINABILITY & CRAFTS(WO)MANSHIP

We do things differently.

 

I've loved working with tools since I was a little girl, and lucky for me, I had a dad who always welcomed me in his workshop. I'll never forget the hours we spent together building my dream dollhouse. My dad taught me many practical skills, but nothing compares to the confidence that comes from building something with your hands and having a parent to teach and encourage you along the way.

 

Maker Monkey is about so much more than arts and crafts. The toys and activities we share with our kids now will influence the way they interact with the world around them in the future. I started Maker Monkey to give you and your children the opportunity to experience what I experienced with my dad decades ago - using creativity and building as a way to build confidence and connect with each other. Never underestimate the power of simple moments. 

You don't have to be an expert woodworker to take on any of these projects. Simple, kid-friendly projects will help develop your child's focus, fine-motor skills, and creativity. I've seen it first-hand with my own kids and I can't wait for you to experience it with yours!

SUSTAINABILITY

We care deeply about the little souls we build with, which means we also need to take care of the world that they are inheriting. We use responsibly sourced upcycled wood in every project. Our goal is to protect and preserve our resources while teaching our kids to do the same.

My Mantra is: "Do good doing what you love." In other words, be yourself and take care of the people and world around you. This takes courage, creativity... and sometimes a hammer.
