FAQs
Our child-sized tools are designed for purpose are weighted and sized for safe and easy use. Stubby hammers are weighted for easier hammering and stubby screwdrivers are perfect for small hands. Sharp saws with fine teeth make cutting wood successful (ensure wood is held still using clamps or a vice). Adding rulers, measuring tapes and carpenters pencils adds numeracy and design elements to a wood-work area. Ensure tools are stored somewhere dry and out of reach when not in use so they don’t rust.
Our woodworking kits come with simple, step-by-step instructions that can followed by children as young as 3 years old (with some supervision and guidance). Look out for video walkthroughs online for a guided experience.
Our kits use soft radiata pine to make nailing and driving in screws easier. Often offcuts of wood donated to early childhood services are too hard or have been treated with chemicals, untreated dry wood is important. Providing children with a variety of shapes and sizes allows children opportunities to use their imagination, be creative and explore design.
We recommend setting up a dedicated space for building so that you can supervise effectively and feel confident children will use the area for its purpose. A woodwork table is ideal with some tool and materials storage closeby.
Woodworking experience always helps but we've designed our kits to be as easy and accessible as possible for both kids and adults. We recommend reading the instructions properly before starting the activities so you and the children have a good understanding of how the kit is built.
We purchased these kits for a whānau day at our Playcentre and kids of all ages and the adults had a great time building them. They were easy to put together and the children loved that they could make the cars roll. It was very handy that the holes for the big nails were pre drilled. I would totally recommend these kits to everyone.
My group of Pippins (ages 5 - 6 years) enjoyed assembling and decorating these. The toys themselves were a little too young for some them to enjoy playing with, but they were taken home to be gifted to younger siblings.
These are awesome sets for kids to enjoy putting together . Very fast service and sending , Thanks
We use all the activity sets for our DIY @Bunnings. The car is particularly popular because it rolls, so the kids 'drive' it immediately. I've made 'limo's' for Queens Bday, a pick up truck by moving the top piece back and just a regular cool car! There is always time to paint or decorate as an option, but not necessary. The kids are so proud of what they've made. Matt is so accommodating. I'm so grateful we can support such a fine NZ business!
Very easy to order.
