I may have to go in January! Thanks for the tip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-tool-set-for-kids#post-2789003 Tue, 28 Nov 2017 21:20:51 +0000 Anya 2789003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becky: not sure about lowes but Home Depot does free kids workshops the first Saturday of each month. They build a little project and decorate it- December's project is a wooden gingerbread house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-tool-set-for-kids#post-2788977 Tue, 28 Nov 2017 20:18:57 +0000 Becky 2788977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennypenny and @silva these are both great! I think I may go for one of the ones from Lowe’s and add a battery operated drill. I’ll have to look for those classes too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-tool-set-for-kids#post-2788940 Tue, 28 Nov 2017 16:52:54 +0000 Silva 2788940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becky: <a href="https://www.forsmallhands.com/woodworking/tools" rel="nofollow">https://www.forsmallhands.com/woodworking/tools</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-tool-set-for-kids#post-2788930 Tue, 28 Nov 2017 15:43:36 +0000 JennyPenny 2788930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My local Lowe's sells these super cute wood projects with different age ranges and a set of mini tools <a href="https://www.lowes.com/pl/Kids-tools-building-kits-Outdoor-games-toys-Outdoors/4294607591" rel="nofollow">https://www.lowes.com/pl/Kids-tools-building-kits-Outdoor-games-toys-Outdoors/4294607591</a>. I haven't tried one yet but I think they look amazing. Our Lowe's also has parent and me classes sometimes on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-tool-set-for-kids#post-2788928 Tue, 28 Nov 2017 15:41:46 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2788928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has a race car that came with a working drill (for the bolts the toy came with) and he out the entire thing together himself with a drill. </p> <p>I think the brand is "design and drill". </p> <p>Might be a less scary option, haha. My son did request a real drill "because dad won't share his!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-tool-set-for-kids#post-2788927 Tue, 28 Nov 2017 15:40:15 +0000 Mama Bird 2788927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a regular toolkit with some small and some big screwdrivers. The kids can handle the smaller ones, and can sort of kind of hammer nails. I still help with that bit though, if only to make sure no one's fingers get hammered.</p> <p>We also have a kiddie tool set by Hape - not quite real tools, but pretty close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-tool-set-for-kids#post-2788913 Tue, 28 Nov 2017 14:55:18 +0000 Becky 2788913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m looking for a real toolset for my daughter. She really wants to build something, and the tools we have are all too big. I just want her to be able to hammer a nail and screw some screws in. In case this sounds terrifying I’m thinking along the lines of adventure playgrounds. Any recommendations for a toolkit that has reasonably sized items? Thanks! </p>
