3 [6] UPDATE: We have not personally had any issues with this scooter but a reader recommend with an older child some modifications be made. Please read comments. It's Handbuilt Holiday Friday today! Today's build is especially near and dear to me. Last Christmas, I wanted to build my son a wood ride on toy scooter. The plastic ride on toys he'd been gifted weren't holding up and I wanted something a little more unique and handmade for our living room - as that's where he plays with it. That, and of course, I'm all about the wooden toys. Inspired by this wood scooter toy [7] that is no longer available and only made in Australia :( we built this - Page 3 of 19

4 It's our (and his) favorite ever of all the toddler ride on toys, made extra special by Hayes' sweet babysitter Olesya, who hand painted it with paint markers for him. Page 4 of 19

5 But he didn't play with it much last Christmas at 1-1/2 years old, so I decided not to put plans out. Fast forward a year, and let's just say those handgrips are starting to fade for a reason. He loves it! So Jaime from That's My Letterhttp://thatsmyletter.blogspot.com/ [8] and I decided to add this toy wood scooter build to our Handbuilt Holiday 2016 [9] line up. Page 5 of 19

12 [21] [22] [23] [24] Cut List: 1-3/4" 2-1/2" x 11-5/8" - bevel bottom end at 10 degrees off square - front 1-3/4" 15-3/4" x 8" - bottom 10-5/8" - front cut at 10 degrees - center support 4-5/8" both ends cut at 10 degrees parallel to each other, long point to short point - back legs 4-1/4" both ends cut at 10 degrees not parallel, long point to long point - back support 1-3/4" 6" x 12-3/8" - front cut at 10 degrees off square, long point measurement - seat 5" - seat back rest Page 12 of 19

13 [25] Attach the 1x2 legs to the 2x2 back support piece with 1-1/2" self tapping screws or similar. I used Spax brand - they are available in small packages in different sizes. Page 13 of 19

14 [26] Then attach the main center support to the back. I used 2-1/2" screws and glue - you could also use a pocket hole here too. Page 14 of 19

15 [27] Next, attach to the base. Back to the 1-1/2" screws. You don't have to be perfect here, just get it in the right position. Page 15 of 19

16 [28] Now the front piece. I recommend plywood here over using a 1x3 just because plywood will support the handle bars better. The bottom needs to be cut a a 10 degree off square bevel. So I cut the plywood first into the right size, and then used the miter saw to bevel that front end (you could also set your circular saw to a 10 degree bevel and cut it). Page 16 of 19

17 [29] Make the cuts on the seat, round corners. Then attach the back rest. Attach entire seat to the framing next. Page 17 of 19

18 [30] Attach caster wheels with screws less than 3/4" and the handle bars. clickforplans: [31] Source URL: ide-toys-wood-scooter-toddlers Links [1] od-scooter-toddlers [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Page 18 of 19
