Setting up a new carpentry area or refreshing your existing tools?

Our Carpentry Setup Essentials pack is designed for education settings, including early learning centres, kindergartens, playcentres and schools.

It brings together the core tools and consumables children need to get started with real woodworking.

Children can hammer, drill, saw, screw, measure and sand using quality, real working tools that are sized for children to use safely and comfortably.

Designed for carpentry sessions with around 4–6 children working at a time, this tool set supports a wide range of abilities, from children learning to use tools for the first time through to more confident builders.

As children’s skills and interests develop, this core pack can be easily added to with other tools, equipment and materials from our range.

Make sure you’ve got plenty of craft wood, nails and screws on hand so children can start drilling, building and creating straight away.

Our Carpentry Drilling Pack makes it easy to introduce drilling into your carpentry area, with enough drills and drill bits for small group carpentry sessions, keeping children engaged as they move between different tools and projects.

Drilling holes is a fun and satisfying skill for children to learn. It helps develop hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and control, while also building confidence as they see the results of their efforts straight away.

Drilling also plays an important role in woodworking by creating pilot holes before nails or screws go in.
Pilot holes help guide the nail or screw into the wood and reduce the chance of wood splitting. They make it much easier for children to hammer nails and drive screws, leading to more successful building outcomes.

This pack includes two different styles of hand drill, giving children variety and choice while they work. Some children naturally prefer one style over the other, and with both pistol grip and classic egg beater hand drills included, your carpentry area can easily cater to different preferences and abilities.

Both drills are suitable for left or right-handed children, making them ideal for classroom environments where every child works a little differently.

A useful addition to any carpentry area, this education bundle helps expand the range of projects children can build while developing practical, hands-on skills with real woodworking tools.

What’s included in the Carpentry Drilling Pack:

• 2 × Pistol Grip Hand Drills
• 2 × Egg Beater Hand Drills
• 2 × 13-piece Drill Bit Sets (various sizes)

A practical and good-value way to introduce drilling, build confidence with pilot holes, and expand the range of projects children can create in your carpentry area.

Children’s Whittling Peeler.

Whittling is the process of using a blade to repeatedly shave off thin pieces of wood – usually from a stick.

Wood whittling is a favourite past time that creates a magical opportunity to change a stick into a treasured possession to keep and play with over and over. From marshmallow toasting sticks, magic wands and stick men – the creative possibilities are endless.

Did you know that the repetitive action of wood whittling can have a calming, therapeutic effect?  If your child suffers from anxiety or has trouble focusing then wood whittling could help.  It’s a great activity for adults and children to do side by side!

Developing fine motor skills, co-ordination, concentration and exploring their creativity are some of the other benefits of wood whittling with children.

Our wood whittling peelers are ideal for young children to learn the art of wood whittling and a great way to begin introducing them to knife skills.

Our whittling peelers have a rigid non-swivel stainless steel blade and an easy grip handle that is suitable for both right and left handed children.

Size: 15cm long

Suitable for ages 6 years + with appropriate adult supervision.
