When children learn how to use tools, they develop coordination, problem-solving abilities, and focus. Children also get a first look at the basic principles of physics. From levers to pulleys, these hands-on experiences help children understand how things work, all while having fun. With our Wooden Screw Driver Board, children can practice using a screwdriver to tighten and loosen screws, building both their fine motor skills and their concentration. This kind of activity empowers children to feel capable as they learn real-life skills that will serve them throughout life. Want to introduce more tools in a playful way? Our Tool Puzzle offers a fun and interactive way for children to learn the names and functions of common tools while developing hand-eye coordination. Children can learn the basics by placing each tool in its matching spot while becoming familiar with their different shapes and purposes. Our Tool 3-Part Cards teach children not only the names of tools but also how to match them and understand their functions. This is a great way to expand vocabulary while reinforcing real-world skills.
Physics may sound complex, but for children, it’s all about exploring how things work. Simple machines—like pulleys, levers, and balances—are the perfect introduction to these concepts, and we’ve got just the tools to make learning fun! Our Wood Block and Tackle introduces children to the concept of lifting and lowering objects with less effort. Our Fulcrum Balance Model offers a playful way for children to explore the principles of balance and leverage. Ready for more pulley fun? Our Simple Machine Pulley is another wonderful hands-on tool that allows children to experience how pulleys work. They can lift objects using a rope and pulley system, discovering how different setups make work easier, giving them a tangible understanding of cause and effect. Let’s not forget the importance of making these learning experiences child-friendly! With our Child-Sized Gloves, children can dive into their tool and physics explorations while keeping their hands safe. Tools and physics help children connect with real-world concepts in a fun, hands-on way! We hope you enjoy building and learning with your little ones.
