I’ve been doing a little research along the lines of a Sloyd program for my grandkids...simple projects that gradually build skills. Fortunately, I’ve got a few years to solidify things before they’re old enough.

If he likes the water, then wooden boats that can be made from scraps and painted.
Things like the Monitor, Merrimack, tug / tow boats, tankers, sail boats, and more. Start out simple and let him augment them however he wants.
It's also a fun way to get him looking for and reading about different types of boats and ships and learn some fun history.
Cheers,
Phil
