Looking for a quick and easy DIYÂ kids toy you can make at home? Â Let’s make kids scooters! Â Hello Pretty Handy Readers I’m Jaime from That’s My Letter here to share how to make these DIYÂ Kids Scooters using scrap wood and a few hardware bits.
My 9 year old daughter is here giving the scooter a whirl and she fits fine but it’s really my 7 year old boy who loves the scooters.  (Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of him on a scooter, but you’ll have to trust me.)  I would say this DIY toy is aimed at kids 8 and younger as they especially love pushing each other on the scooters!
If you happen to have a piece of 2×12 scrap wood lying around then this project was made for you. Â The chunky 1 1/2″ thick material is solid and sturdy and can be painted any color you choose.
Materials:
- 1 – 2×12 @ 11 1/4″ (must be a square, measure your 2×12 first, some are 11 1/8″w)
- 4 rotating casters (2″ wheels)
- 2 handles
- jigsaw
- sandpaper
- drill
- 1 1/4″ self tapping screws
- measuring tape & Â pencil
