The Rivet Pop Workshop by Educational Insights is a fun self-storing puzzle toy perfect for building fine motor and hand eye coordination skills. There are 10 double-sided activity cards that fit in the activity board frame. Use the Rivet Tool to match and “pop” the rivets through the pattern on the activity card. Your little one learns about construction skills, pre math skills, and STEM practice, all while having fun. When the activity is finished, use the rivet remover to remove all the rivets and move on to the next. Or, store the rivets, activity cards, and tools inside the storage box. The activity board snaps on as a lid to store the toy for the next use. ~Judy
