Kid makers, we know you love GIANT stuff! So we know you’ll get excited by this easy-to-build xylophone made from giant 2′x4′s. Click here for instructions. Hang it from a favorite tree or your bedroom door – we even built one into a bench here in the MAKESHOP™. Special thanks to Chris Bandy of Bandy Woodworks and his co-hosts in this episode, Asher and Eden!
SAFETY NOTE: This project involves basic hand tools for woodworking, like saws. Ask an adult to teach you as you build together and always be very careful when using tools of any kind.

This indoor tent makes a great spot for hideout, reading nook or nap. Click here for instructions. At the bottom, they say you could even use an old twin bed sheet, if you adjust the measurements of the other pieces to match. Could you add a door or window? Could you join two tents with a tunnel / secret passageway?
SAFETY NOTE: Kid makers, this project involves a power drill and sewing machine. Ask an adult to work on this one with you.
