Can anyone recommend a fun kids tool bench / kids tools? My son is 1.5 years old, and likes to imitate dad by turning his truck on its side and poking the wheel with a stick while he makes "wrrrrrr"

I don't have any pointers yet, except for a tape measure, an 8 footer would be perfect (I am picking one up next tool store trip). I just got a Handy Manny dancing tool kit for my daughter and she lo

in my experience, there wasn't a tool that couldn't ultimately be used to cause harm to my son or nearby property, but he ended up with a few flathead screwdrivers, an adjustable wrench, a ratchet an

When my son was that age, I had to keep close tabs on him - he would try to get tools out of my roll-around, especially screw drivers - he loved screw drivers. I re-arranged the tools in the box so t

Take a look at the available tape measures to be sure that the edges of the tape is not sharp enough to cut. I use 30' tapes (Stanley, FatMax, etc.) and if you are not paying attention when you have

My 3-yr old daughter liked to measure stuff with a kids tape measure, the real ones are too sharp IMO. Then the plastic tape broke, so we had to retire it. The best thing I can suggest from experienc

I built my son a workbench that was right sized for him when he was ~3. Gave him goggles, a cloth tape measure (try a craft store), a socket wrench and a couple of screwdrivers. I also pre-drilled so

Thanks for all the advice. I just got back from a shopping trip and picked up a 10' tape measure. I will have to check how sharp the edges are. Thanks for the all the cautions about the sharp edged t

Another trick for kids is to give them a yo-yo with a flexible fiberglass tape instead of steel. My wife carries one in her purse. It's the kind she uses for sewing. The kids don't seem to care that

Another great 'helping' routine is when you're working on plumbing under the sink. Put a wrench around some sort of fitting nearby and have your 'apprentice' hold it still. Tell 'em it's really impor

It's funny how times change. I'm not a parent, so I'm only qualified to not comment - and I'm aware of that. When I was a kid, no more than 4 (this would be 1961 or so), there was a line of toy kids

Mark, We went to see a cousin of mine the other day who has several grandsons 3yrs and up. I was very impressed with a simple work bench he'd made for them with a joiner's vice (not engineers). He ga
