Whittling Knife with Safety Guard & Short Blade
A great first whittling knife for children who are curious about working with wood. Some will carve imaginative creations, while others will be just as interested in exploring what each branch looks like beneath the bark.
The knife features a safety guard to help keep little fingers away from the blade while whittling.
Comes with a black plastic sheath to protect the blade when not in use.
Keep the blade in good condition by oiling it occasionally with cooking oil.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Suitable for ages 6 yrs. to 10 yrs.
Let your child get practical experience working with their hands with quality gear in the correct size. Little ones will have fun, learn to solve problems, and be inspired to try their hand at entrepreneurship and design and make something alone from scratch – or together with an adult. It boosts your child's sense of self-confidence.
The activity helps your child develop new skills and is wonderful for your child's well-being:
- Helps your child sharpen fine motor skills.
- Stimulates hand-eye coordination, a skill we use for instance when we throw, catch, or kick a ball that comes flying at us in PE class, when we cut accurately line with a pair of scissors, or when we want to pour a glass of water without missing.
- This activity helps your child get better at focusing.
