This kit’s light-up buttons and colorful components make it a great gift for any kid who enjoys visually stimulating toys and accessories. When pressed, these buttons play songs and make the sounds of real tools, making this kit even more interactive and stimulating.

It also comes with learning cards that can be inserted into the toolbox, which will teach your child about letters and numbers as they’re using the tools. The electric drill actually spins too, and can be used to rotate the gears on the outside of the box. For about $20, this set is a great value, as well.
