Workbench

The Nordic compact workbench gives young builders a place to screw, hammer, saw and explore how different tools work. Its compact size fits into a child's room without taking up too much space.

It includes a vice and five wooden tools: carpenter's square, saw, screwdriver, wrench and hammer. The set also contains five screws, five nuts, three nails and three perforated strips for assembling, taking apart and trying different combinations. Built-in storage spaces keep the accessories organised.

As children pretend to carry out DIY tasks, they practise fine and gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination and an understanding of simple mechanisms. They can also help assemble the workbench. Its Scandinavian-inspired design combines soft colours with plenty of visible natural wood.
