Measuring
Toy tape measures allow kids to work around the house or help adults with woodworking projects, without having to worry that real measuring tapes will get destroyed. You can find retractable tape measures on spools, cloth measuring tapes and stick rulers for kids to measure in different ways. Measuring toys can be purchased at various retailers, toy stores or direct from toy manufacturers.
Hammers and Screwdrivers
Toy hammers screwdrivers are commonly made from plastic or wood and are much safer than an adult's metal tools. You can find these items sold by themselves, as part of tool sets or as part of whole workbench sets. There are even hammer and nail sets on the market that work much like a pegboard, where nails are fitted into pre-cut holes in a wooden board. Toy hammers and screwdrivers can be purchased from online retailers and variety stores.
Saws
There are toy saws to match almost every type of adult functioning saw used in woodworking. You can find hand saws that kids can carry around while mimicking adults on the job. Toy table saws are often found as part of workbench sets and are perfect for use around the house or set up beside an adult's workshop. In addition, there are toy circular saws, jig saws and hack saws that are perfect for child's play.
