Children and tools often do not mix since such events can likely result to the young ones getting hurt. But what if you can find a way that will allow your child to ‘help’ you complete simple household tasks or projects?

In this review, we will introduce five different tool set brands that you can choose from, depending on you and your child’s needs.

CP Toys Adjustable Tool Belt with Real Tools

Consumer Ratings (3.9 / 5)

Constructive Playthings (CP Toys) has been in the business of making safe and durable children’s toys and tools for many years. One of their most popular products is the Adjustable Tool Belt with 4-Piece Real Tools set (model RTL-11).

The set includes a 10-foot tape measure, a 7.5 inch flat head screwdriver, a 7.5 inch Philips screwdrivers, and a 7 inch hammer – all in a red and gray color scheme just like a grown man’s set of tools. These tools can be placed or hung around the leather tool belt except for the hammer. It is constructed too big and cannot fit into the belt’s hammer loop.

Aside from that, the CP Toys Tool Belt and Tool Set are non-toxic and safe for children since they are made from BPA and PVC-free materials.

This tool set and tool belt combo also works as a costume accessory for children who wish to dress up like Bob the Builder or other handy cartoon characters. And since the tools are all real, your child will not complain about having unrealistic tools.

The CP Toys Adjustable Tool Belt and Tool Set are ideally made for children ages 8 and up. Some younger children may play with the set as long as they have adults supervising them.

 

Grizzly Children’s Tool Kit

Consumer Rating (4.5 / 5)

Another popular tool set for children is the Grizzly Children’s Tool Kit (model H5855). In this list, the Grizzly kits take top prize for having the highest number of included tools. It has eleven (11) pieces of tools. They are:

• Tape measure
• Square
• Philips screwdriver
• Slotted screwdriver
• Hammer
• Safety glasses
• Level pliers
• Wrench
• Ruler
• Carry case

Another fun thing that kids will enjoy is that the Grizzly Children’s Tool Kit comes with an unassembled wooden tool box. Kids will need to construct it using their new tool set. A great start to using their tools, isn’t it?

The grizzly Children’s Tool Kit is also recommended for kids ages 8 and up. Younger kids will need to be supervised when using these tools. Note that all tools are real and will work just like the real thing. The only difference is their size and weight in order to fit a younger person’s hands.

The use of this 11-piece tool set is a good way to enhance your child’s fine motor skills and creativity during their play time or during supervised project time.

 

Grip 9-Piece Children’s Tool Kit

Consumer Ratings (4.6 / 5)

 

If you want a children’s tool set specifically geared towards much younger children, then Grip’s 9-Piece Children’s Tool Kit is especially is for you (and your kid). The Grip 9-piece tool kit is especially made with double injected grip handles to fit the tiny hands of children aged 4 years old and up.

A Grip 9-Piece kit includes:

• 12 foot x 5/8 inch tape measure
• 6 inch slip joint pliers
• 5 inch long nose pliers
• 7 oz claw hammer
• 4 inch flat screwdriver
• 4 inch Philips screwdriver
• Scissors
• 6 inch adjustable wrench
• Comes in Blue or Pink

Just like with other tool sets, adult supervision is needed when using the Grip Children’s Tool Kit. Special instructions should be made prior to the use of the scissors and other sharp-edged tools as well. And if you deem these items dangerous, you may always remove them from the kit and only allow its use when your child is older to avoid mishaps.

The Grip 9-Piece Children’s Tool Kit may fit those precocious children who follow around their moms or dads and insist on helping with woodworking or basic projects. This is a great tool set to get them started on the craft instead of devoting their time on less active forms of play.

 

Grizzly Junior Working Too Length 12-Piece Set

Consumer Ratings (4.9 / 5)

 

The Grizzly Junior Working Too Length 12-Piece Set (model H3044) is primarily a tool belt kit. It does not have the main tool kit essentials like screwdrivers and pliers.

• 4 oz bottle of chalk
• Pocket vinyl tool belt with 2 pouches

On a side note, the suspenders that come with the set may be too short or too long, depending on your kid’s height. So you may need to adjust it to ensure accurate fit.
