What would a web site about work benches be without a page about a little tikes work bench for your children? I’m not sure what it would be, but I don’t want to find out! I love these things, and my kids do too, so I thought I’d throw up a page to talk about them, just for fun.
There are many different things you can buy alongside your workbench, and I’m going to talk about them as well. These things include the Little Tikes Workhorse, Little Tikes Building to Learn Motor/Workshop, Little Tikes 2-in-1 Engine Block and Workbench Play Set, and the all-important Little Builder Tool belt. So sit back and enjoy!
Little Tikes Work Bench: The “My First Craftsman Workbench” is a great little workbench for your child. Sometimes it’s hard to find this exact model as they’re often sold out but if you are fortunate enough to find one, you will be glad you did. It gives your little builder the tools they need for a world of creative play. This is a very well-stocked workbench! It is sized just right for your youngster and it has the power tools that look and sound just like the real thing. It also comes with 30 additional accessories which are pretty cool. It also comes with the things you need to build a little birdhouse. You’ll need some batteries for this thing but it’s no big deal.
Little Tikes Workhorse this isn’t so much a workbench as it is a little workshop. It folds up for fairly portable use and it’s pretty easy to store. It only comes with three tools and is recommended for ages two years old and up. Even though it only comes with three tools there’s plenty of things that you can do with this pint-size workhorse. It’s less than 2 feet tall but it stands easily on the floor or even on a tabletop. It has five holes that your young carper can pound things into (usually the two chunky “nails” that come with the set). This will give your children hours of pretend carpentry play.
Little Tikes Building to Learn Motor/Workshop I love this workbench but at $300 it may be a little pricey for most parents. This is a great two in one wood shop and engine repair shop that comes with a bonus model car assembly kit as well as a power drill that turns gears and revs engines. The laser guided power drill has six drill bits that come with it and the entire thing has real workshop sound effects that are great. It weighs about 22 pounds in all which is not bad. This is a fully loaded tool bench that is impressive to look at and comes packed with realistic looking tools and features that will certainly spark your child’s creative side. They can assemble a motor, build things, plan things, or just play with the power tools. It measures 13″ x 23″ x 36″.
Little Tikes 2-in-1 Engine Block and Workbench Play Set at around $60 this little workbench may be more realistic in terms of prices than its more expensive counterpart above. It does all kinds of things including transform from a workbench to an engine block that allows you to take the engine apart and put back together again. It comes with many power tools that have real sound effects and really turn when you turn them on and the laser guided power drill comes with six drill bits that’s 50 pieces total (warning – choking hazard!). This is an all-around great bench.
Little Builder Toolbelt what workbench set is complete without a toolbelt?! At around $15 you can’t go wrong with this one. It comes with a sturdy canvas toolbelt with two easy-to-use pockets on the front of it. It also comes with a pretend play hammer, pliers, screwdrivers, adjustable wrench, and two bits. It also has an electronic beeper! Your kids will love to help mom and dad around the house with their own toolbelt.
No kid should grow up without their very own little tikes work bench. He gives them hours and hours of fun, it also teaches them the beginnings of valuable skills that they will use for the rest of your life. That’s why I’m sure your child will love a workbench of their very own.
