Selected User Reviews For Hape Fix It Kid's Wooden Tool Box and Accessory Play Set
We've enjoyed other Hape toys and thought this toolbox would be a good fit for our child. Unfortunately, the design leaves a lot to be desired, despite the high quality of the materials. Advantages: br>br>
- Exceptional wood, perfectly smooth and paintedbr>- paint that isn't harmful to the environmentbr>- a good size for small handsbr>br>Cons:
- Screws are present, but there is nowhere to put them. Of course, the nuts and bolts are screwed together, but the screwdriver is useless because none of the wooden pieces have threaded holes. We've never had to use ours before.
- There are only two nails on the board. My toddler hammers them in for about 5 seconds before asking for help prying them out (she tries to pry them out herself but gets frustrated because the plastic hammer claw on the plastic nail is slippery). She also requests more nails "in order to construct something. " "
- The wrench is practically useless unless your toddler is coordinated/interested enough to hold a wrench supporting a nut in one hand while screwing the bolt in with the other (by hand or with the screwdriver). My daughter simply held the nut in one hand while screwing the bolt into the other - No one has ever used the wrench. br>br>Overall, I am disappointed with my purchase and would not recommend it. We found it to be a difficult toy to enjoy, which was disappointing because I remember fondly playing with my own Fisher Price wooden tool bench when I was a kid. My child has a vivid imagination, but she took this tool bench very seriously, wanting to use the tools rather than just pretending to use them.
I couldn't decide between this Hape set and the Melissa and Doug set. If you look closely, you'll notice that the Melissa and Doug hammer has sharp corners (if your child is too engrossed in his game, he may injure himself: As a result, I chose this one and am happy with my decision- The quality is excellent; it is fairly sturdy and withstood my son's abuse without falling apart (as evidenced by the scuffs on the photos). My son spent a lot of time "hammering," and that's how the impact came about; it looks good, in my opinion. The gift packaging box is large and sturdy, making it ideal for a gift. As long as it's under $20, it's a definite recommendation. (I waited for a promotion and received it for about 16 dollars. ).
So I was debating between a plastic set of cartoonishly styled tools and this wooden set, which was a little more expensive. br>br>I'm so glad I went with this set instead! It's only been 30 minutes since he took it out of the box, but he's already learned how to hammer in "nails," remove them with the back of the hammer, work a "screw" and "bolt" with a wrench and screw driver in tandem, and spin gears on the kit's side. The tools are all well-made but not overly heavy, so there's no risk of him breaking anything if he decides to hammer away.
At the age of 18 months, I purchased this for my daughter. I figured she needed her own because she kept playing with her daddy's tools. This is the most amazing show I've ever seen. She's 22 months old now, and she's reaching for her toolbox to assist her father. She quickly figured out how to undo the screws, nuts, and nails with the tools she had. In the mornings, it's one of the first things she grabs and plays with. It's made of solid wood and is made to last. This is one of those books that I can't recommend highly enough.
My three- year- This set is a hit with the kids. A vise and a ruler are mentioned in the description. This is not the case. However, the image is correct. Plastic nails and nuts/bolts are used, but the rest is made of wood. Others have mentioned that their child refuses to use a screwdriver or wrench. My daughter uses both of them, along with the hammer, so it must depend on the individual. Advantages: br>br> br>Made by Hape, so it's made of non-toxic materials. noxious substances Exceptional craftsmanshipbr>Perfect size for a two-person householdbr> teaches eye-hand coordination to a four-year-oldbr> Allows child to work with their own tools (especially useful when parent is attempting to use adult tools)br>Durablebr>br>Cons: br>Wish there were more nails, nuts, and bolts, or the option to buy extras.
This was a gift for my son's first birthday, and he absolutely adores it. It's a wonderful present, and I strongly suggest it. However, after a week of normal use, the screwdriver tip separated from the handle. It's only held together by a dab of glue. I'll have to reinstall it, which will be a hassle. The rest of the components, however, are of excellent quality. I'd still recommend it because it's a household favorite.
br>My three-year-old daughter, who is mechanically inclined, can assemble several pieces. br>br>You definitely don't get enough pieces with the toolbox to build many things; if you have a younger toddler, this is probably fine, but for older preschoolers, one of their builder kits might be a better option. Because this toy is such a hit at our house, Grandma is going to get them the matching tool bench for Christmas. br>br>I would strongly recommend this to any child who wants their own tools or enjoys constructing things.
For a two-year-old's birthday, this is ideal. To get it to play right away, do the following: with- I removed all of the wrappings and placed all of the tools in the box's carrier. Huge hit.
