Not only is drilling holes a fun activity for kids, it also plays an important role in woodworking by creating pilot holes.
Not sure what a pilot hole is?
It's a small hole (a little bit smaller than the size of nail or screw you’re using) that's drilled into the wood before inserting your nail or screw.
Pilot holes help to guide the nail or screw into the wood and makes it much easier to hammer or screw them in.
Pilot holes also help to reduce the risk of the wood splitting or cracking.
Encouraging kids to make pilot holes when working on their projects is a great idea because it can help to prevent frustration and disappointment from the wood splitting or their nail / screw gong in the wrong place.
Smaller sized drill bits are more likely to break because they are so thin, but they are incredibly useful for drilling those pilot holes. To ensure a steady supply of spares and uninterrupted woodworking for your kids, consider our 50 Piece Bulk Pack Of Drill Bits which are the ideal size for pilot holes.
Please note that these are real tools. They are NOT toys. Our products are intended for use by children only under the direct supervision of a responsible adult.

These robust old fashioned brace and bit hand drills are super popular with children. Kids simply love the large rhythmic rotational motion that’s needed to twist the drill bit into the wood.
It’s amazing to see how mush satisfaction children get from these brace and bit style drills!!
A carpenter’s brace and bit set is useful when children want to drill wide holes or when they want to drill through thick pieces of wood. The simple design of the brace gives this tool much greater torque to make drilling big holes easy.
This set comes with a high quality brace drill, 5 different sized drill bits and a handy carry case to store your drill bits in.
Our brace and bit hand drill is particularly good for children’s development as it involves a motion that requires “crossing the body’s mid-line”. Crossing the midline means that a body part (eg hand or foot) is able to spontaneously move over to the other side of the body to work there.
Crossing the body’s mid-line engages both sides of your child’s brain to coordinate smooth, controlled, complex movement. It is an important developmental skill needed for many everyday tasks such as writing, reading, tying shoelaces and ball skills!
The brace and bit is used with two hands. One hand goes on the round wooden head, pushing down and holding steady. The other hand turns the crank. Children enjoy the challenge and pick up the technique very quickly.
Brace And Bit Set Includes:
1 x Carpenter’s Brace
5 x Drill Bits ( 14mm, 12mm, 10mm, 8mm, 6mm diameter holes)
1 x Heavy duty zip case for storing drill bits.
Size Of Brace: 33cm tall
Top Tips:
The secret to drilling is to hold the brace steady while applying some downward pressure so that the drill bites into the wood.
Brace drills are quite tall so it can be easier for children to work with this tool on the floor. Drilling into the wood with the benefit of having their weight above to hold it steady and apply some downward pressure.
Another option which works well is to clamp the piece of wood in a vice and use the brace horizontally. This way the child can lean into the drill and use their body weight to apply pressure. With their hands low in front of them, it is easy to rotate the crank.
All of our tools are specifically designed for children to have successful outcomes in carpentry. They are real working tools on a smaller scale. Featuring ergonomic handles to fit children’s hands perfectly and aid in correct technique.

Stubby Screwdriver Set

1x phillips screwdriver.
Screwdrivers provide children with another way of joining two pieces of wood together and are great for honing those fine motor skills!
With their short, fat handle and ergonomic design children find these “stubby” screwdrivers much easier to grip and control than long handled adult ones.
The magnetized tips help to keep screws in place while turning and add another layer of intrigue for the kids to discover.
