A hands-on toolbox for building little moving contraptions, from a bell ringer to a crane.
Some afternoons, it begins with the pieces tipped out and lined up in serious little piles. Another day, your little one wants the waving hand to move, or the crane to be the one that finally works. It becomes the kind of play that can sit between everyday jobs at home: build a bit, ask for help finding the right bolt, test what they have made, then come back later with a new idea from the same toolbox.
Our in-stock products are usually dispatched from Melbourne within 24–48 hours. During peak and sale periods, dispatch and transit times may be longer.
Buying guidance
Who this product is particularly well suited to.
Best for families choosing for a child aged 4 years+ who enjoys table-top construction play with a clear result at the end. It is especially well suited when you want a self-contained toolbox-style activity: the set measures 30 × 8.7 × 26.6 cm and centres on six named moving-machine builds rather than needing a larger set-up at home.

Product overview
In family life, the play that lasts is often the play with a next thing to try. At first, your child may simply sort the bolts, nuts and wooden strips across the table. Soon, one build becomes the mission for the afternoon. Before long, the bell ringer, zoetrope, climbing frog or crane is not just a plan in their head, but something they have put together with their own hands. Some days they come back to rebuild a favourite. Other days they choose a different moving machine and start again from the pile of parts.
Product details
It gives the play a natural next step, so your little one can return to the toolbox across many afternoons rather than using it once and moving on.
For a parent, that is the memorable part: your child can point to the finished machine and know they helped make it happen.
You are not just buying loose pretend tools; you are buying the parts for finished builds your child can see working.
