What is the best way of inspiring the next generation of engineers? I don’t know the answer but getting them started at a young age must help, surely?! I’m not sure who has had more fun with this gift: me making it or Zoe playing with it.
I tried to make it as safe as I could for a 3 year old. The hammer has a short handle, sharp edges are minimise and there shouldn’t be any chocking hazards. But this is probably a toy that needs supervision for younger ages.
The conents are as follows:
- Toolbox
- Drill
- Hammer
- Set square
- Screwdriver
- Ruler
- Saw
- Spanner
- Pliers
- Plane
The design of the toolbox and some of the tools were inspired by this wooden toolset on instructables.
