Description
This set fulfills two childhood needs at once the desire to create beautiful patterns, and the desire to use "grown up" tools. The key components are a white activity board with 100 holes, 120 bolts in five colors, and 20 pattern cards with patterns to imitate. The big plastic bolts wouldn't be that hard to screw in by hand, but what's the fun in that? It's much better to use the included wrench, power drill, or screwdriver (requires 3 AA batteries, not included). When you're done with the pre-printed patterns of animals, vehicles, flowers, and just plain fun designs, it's easy to come up with your own! A good way to match creativity and active play for any young boy or girl. Need more tools for an extra set of little hands? Additional power tools and fun-shaped bolts are now available separately to extend the use of your Design & Drill Activity Center. ~ Mark

Category Description for Design & Drill
The Design and Drill Sets fulfill child development and education needs while inspiring imagination and creativity. After all, what child doesn't desire to build beautiful patterns, and use tools like a "grown up"? Fundamental fine motor skills will get a workout using the bolts, tools, and accessories in each set. Some sets function with a child-size power drill, complete with forward and reverse mode! Others have a child size screwdriver or just require little fingers to do the work. When the kiddo has completed the suggested designs, they can use their creativity and come up with their own supporting STEM learning. Power tools require 3 AAA batteries, which are not included. Each set includes a playboard or an item to assemble, colorful bolts and/or accessories in a variety of colors and in some cases a tool (type varies by set).
