Flooyes Tool Set for Kids, Pretend Play Construction Kits for Boys Toddlers

WOW! @_@ This is the most realistic preschool toolset I have ever seen. Everything works! The saw actually has an ingenious silicone-ish blade that moves! You exchange the drill bits by pushing in/pulling out, and they have a nice sturdy fit, meaning they won't fall out as your child is using the drill to screw in the bolts/screws. I would imagine some children will need help pulling the drill bits out, at least at first, because there's a bit of torque involved, but it isn't anything bothersome. The more important part to me is how secure the tool bits are once you push them in. The screwdriver also has exchangeable parts. This set could not be better in how easily and well the tools fit into the screws, and how the bolts screw onto the screws. Every piece has a quality, sturdy feel to it. Even the bolts %26 screws (the smaller bits) are great quality. I'm super impressed with how thoughtfully made this set is. Someone thought a lot about how kids approach things and how to maximize sturdiness and safety. Speaking of safety, it's very cool that the set comes with a 'hard hat', goggles, and ventilator mask. It does reinforce how actual construction workers accomplish their work without harming their lungs, eyes, and skull. It also is a great prep for SCIENCE CLASS because kids will be expected to wear goggles without taking them off during experiments. To top it all off, all you have to do to adjust the fit of the mask/goggles is untie the elastic strap on one side which is a single tie/not even a knot, so it won't be a miserable project trying to adjust. Since the elastic is stretchy, like with how real masks/goggles fit, the fit doesn't have to be 'exact' for one particular child, but can be a general size that friends or siblings who play with the set can use unless there's a significant age/size difference. The pieces work like the real tools, which increases the wonder and simulation of the set. *This is a great toy to use for seeing how basic building tools work.* It encourages both real solutions to how tools interact with objects AND exploration in how to use the various pieces. In fact, you could use this set educationally in all sorts of ways: 1) To make angular shapes (rectangle, square) and angular letters ('T', 'V', 'N', etc.) 2) To go through the scientific process --Hypothesize about what a tool is used for --Use proper safety equipment --Try it in various ways %26 interactions w/ objects included in the kit (experimentation) --Evaluate %26 retest as needed: Were you right in how the tool is used? If you were right, how did you figure it out? If you were wrong, what other object might the tool work w/ that is in the kit? 3) To spark imagination, make-believe, %26 simulation play 4) To encourage vocabulary building (naming the tools, safety gear, etc.) 5) To study how cause-%26-effect works w/ construction tools (is it a rotating motion that tightens the screw?, etc.) 6) To cooperate Great toy, great price, A

I gave this to the little 3 year-old boy that lives behind me. He was thrilled! His mother and father took time to go through all the parts of the tool set and explain which piece did what. It was also an excellent time to go over lessons of safety and caution. The little boy is very diligent about wearing the goggles and hat when he 'works' with his tools. Yes, the drill and the chainsaw, complete with sound and motion, are his favorite pieces. Another benefit of this set is he can be out in the garage with his tools while his father is out working or building things for real.
