Design & Drill - Brightworks

When encouraging children as young as 3 years old to explore the joys of science and technology, it's important to make sure that they experience many moments of success along the way.

When children succeed in something, chances are greater that they'll keep trying again and again - which leads to more play, more learning, and more confidence.

This is where the popular Design & Drill series comes in. This glow-in-the-dark mosaic set is one of their many wonderful play sets which features a working, kid-safe power drill and plastic bolts. Your child can drill the bolts into the drill board to match the included designs or create their own pictures and patterns. 

The bolts themselves glow in the dark and the battery-powered board lights up. The drill is battery-powered as well.

The set includes: 

• Light-up drill board
• Battery-powered power drill 
• 50 bolts
• English-language guide with 12 challenges

Requires 2 AA batteries for the drill and 3 AAA batteries for the drill board. Batteries are not included.

The board is 19 cm wide.

This activity supports essential skills which are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Boosts your child's creativity.
• Stimulates your child's comprehension of cause and effect, which concerns the understanding that one thing (the cause) leads to another thing (the effect).

Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 7 yrs.

Science is no longer something difficult and dull which adults work with in distant offices or laboratories. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)- based play activities and experiments are are proof of this. The conventional boundaries between natural science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are removed, and your child learns through playing and experimenting.

Do you know Learning Resources?

Providing children with materials that make learning fun is important for Learning Resources - as their name implies.

In particular, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is at the centre at Learning Resources. For instance, your child can learn to explore and experiment, build robots, and learn to code. For educators and teachers, Learning Resources is a learning goldmine. Coding dinosaurs, sorting animals, and math games can really be a breath of fresh air in the classroom.
