My 8-year-old is really interested in having a wooden car, but I've never done any woodworking before. I want to build a basic one-seater with wheels and maybe some steering. Any tips on how to get started? I'm looking for something straightforward, nothing too fancy!

If you’re looking for a hands-on guide, I found a simple DIY video that might help. It walks you through the process step by step, and it seems perfect for a first project. Just follow along and you should be good to go!
You might want to start by looking into pine wood derby kits. They're great for beginners because they come with all the pieces you'll need and usually have a simple assembly guide. Just keep in mind they tend to be on the smaller side, so if you're aiming for something bigger, there are other options too!
For larger projects, I've seen some neat examples online—check out this link for ideas!

Yeah, I noticed those kits are more for toy cars. If you need something larger, maybe check out YouTube for DIY car builds!
