Key Specs
If your child has outgrown toy tools but isn’t quite ready to borrow ones from your tool kit, these real—but kid-sized—options could be the perfect fit. At just 8 ounces, the compact claw hammer should be light enough for a kid to handle, but still effective enough to be used on actual nails or tacks.
The included tape measure has all the markings and measurements of a grown-up version, and at 12 feet long, is big enough to be useful for a wide range of tasks. It also comes with a heavy-duty carrying bag and a convenient shoulder strap for easy transport.

If your child is too young to handle real tools, but still wants a tool collection and bench just like their parents, this Craftsman kit could be a great choice. Thanks to the 54 nuts, bolts, and building pieces included, your child can assemble a variety of items.
This variety makes this set perfect for improving hand-eye coordination as well as fostering creativity. Its pieces should be durable enough to stand up to regular wear and tear, and the realistic, but safe play tools and interactive nature of this set make it a good option for siblings of different ages and ability levels.
