Grownups always have a list of odd jobs that need doing. In every house there is always a door hinge that needs tightening, a cupboard that needs a new handle fitting, a bicycle with a punctured tyre and when there are children about, a whole host of toys in need of mending. Most houses have some sort of tool box which is kept out of the way of the little ones, but we all know how curious kids are and none of us want to discourage their desire to learn and try new things, which is why we are happy to present the following WoodenToyShop guide to toy tools and workbenches.
One of our favourites.Wood is the perfect material for fashioning safe and sturdy toy children’s workbenches and tools, as demonstrated by the magnificent Melissa and Doug Workbench. This superb wooden workbench is easy to assemble and comes laden with wooden tools that are both safe and fun to use. Your junior carpenter will enjoy ‘working’ with the wooden saw, hammer, spanner and screwdriver, with which they can join together or take apart the wooden pieces with the aid of wooden nuts, screws and bolts. There is even a working vice which can be used for more difficult projects. Parents will also like the lower shelf which can be used for tidying spare bits and bobs and they will also love (as will the kids) the project sheets that come with the workbench.
Colourful, sturdy and fun!The BigJigs Power Tools Workbench will appeal to children who dream of working on serious projects with a wall mounted circular saw and drill, vice, hammer, screwdriver, hammer, wooden pieces, nuts and bolts and a lower shelf. This painted wooden workbench is as colourful as it is enjoyable and is will provide hours of engrossing and interesting play for your little builder.
Gorgeous, just gorgeous!The Janod DIY Trolley is a brilliant combination of walking aid and toy workbench. This stylish and sturdy trolley can be wheeled from job to job with its selection of handy pretend tools and wooden pieces. As with all play tools and workbenches, this wonderful wooden toy encourages children to develop planning and problem solving skills, helps improve hand eye coordination and fine motor skills and also lets children build their muscle strength while playing. Let’s not forget, too, that this one looks fabulous!
The deluxe BigJigs Workbench is guaranteed to keep the fussiest of young workers busy working on complex constructions, running repairs and mechanical mending! We also recommend the Pintoy Workbench which will provide just as much fun and enjoyment in the playroom.
Unfortunately we no longer stock this item.Households and classrooms that are already bulging with toys or where space is a premium may be the perfect home for a toy toolbox such as the BigJigs Tool Box or the Pintoy Tool Box. The former offers excellent value for money and contains plenty of wooden tools, pieces, nuts, screws and bolts. Both tool boxes can be easily carried around the house to wherever the latest repair is needed.
Check out that cap!This Janod Tool Box even comes with a fabric workman’s cap and tool belt. (We love this one!)
Great value for money.Builders and carpenters on the go may prefer a tool belt. The BigJigs Carpenters Belt offers great value for money and comprises a fabric belt with clear plastic pouches filled with wooden pieces, nuts, screws and tools. The Le Toy Van My Handy Toolbelt is a brilliant fabric tool belt with something a little different to our other tool boxes and belts. The (wooden) metal effect tools include a mini oil can with a pleasing – we’ve tried it – clicking action. We have a sneaky feeling that some grownups will enjoy playing with the oil can!
We love the little oil can!The Janod DIY Case is a super wooden tool case crammed with gorgeous wooden tools, including a drill, hammer, t-square, pincers, pliers, adjustable wrench, spanner, screwdriver and saw. Tool boxes do not come any smarter than this one!
Unfortunately we no longer stock this item.
The BigJigs Carpenters Set is another natural wooden tool case filled with enough tools to keep the most efficient home repair expert busy for hours!
