Thames & Kosmos Kids First Intro to Tools & Building
Grab your tools, it’s time to get building! Learn how to use tools and build your own workbench with this introductory mechanical engineering kit for kids ages three and up. Join Ty and Karlie - the young engineers featured in the other Kids First early engineering kits - to learn how to use a hammer, screwdriver, and wrench, and the basic engineering principles behind how these tools work.
This kit features large tools that are comfortable for kids to hold, while also being lightweight and safe. In addition to the workbench, build five other awesome models with the included modular building parts, including a race car, airplane, house, scissors, and a toolbox to carry your tools. Then let your imagination run wild and build your own creations!
Intro to Tools & Building is a fun and engaging way to teach simple engineering concepts to young children, allowing parents, teachers, and caregivers to lay the groundwork for strong STEM-related skills and comprehension at an early age. Model building helps develop fine motor skills, mechanical engineering skills, visual-spatial skills, and reasoning and concept development skills. The parts in this kit are compatible with the parts of other Thames & Kosmos Kids First engineering kits.
The Thames & Kosmos Kids First Intro to Tools & Building is a great way to introduce young children to the world of engineering and construction. It is a fun and educational toy that can help children develop a variety of important skills.
-
Introduces basic tools and their uses:This kit comes with child-sized plastic tools, including a hammer, screwdriver, and wrench. These tools are designed to be safe and easy for young children to use. Through play, children can learn how to grip the tools correctly and how to use them to assemble the different parts of the workbench.
-
Teaches basic engineering concepts: The kit includes instructions for building a workbench, as well as six other models. As children follow the instructions, they learn about concepts such as leverage, friction, and balance.
-
Helps develop fine motor skills: Using the tools in the kit helps children develop the small muscles in their hands and fingers. This is important for tasks such as writing, buttoning clothing, and tying shoelaces.
-
Encourages creativity and problem-solving skills: Once children have built the models in the kit, they can use their imaginations to create their own structures. This helps them develop their creativity and problem-solving skills.
-
Builds self-confidence: When children are able to successfully build something on their own, it gives them a sense of accomplishment and helps to build their self-confidence.
