Scout's Build & Discover Tool Set is a highly effective, deeply enriching play and learning experience for young children. The colorful, compact, easy-carry tool box doubles as Scout's puppy playhouse and is as much a treat for the imagination as it is a play land for burgeoning motor skills and number awareness. The set includes 5 different toy tools. Scout's voice, interlaced with songs and sound effects, guides kids through their usage - turning screws, tightening bolts, hammering, measuring, sawing. Scout regularly asks questions (How many red bolts does my house have?), pausing a moment to give children an opportunity to count out the answer along with him. These explorations are further enhanced by color-matching between tools and their counterparts (hammer and nails are orange, screwdriver and screws blue . . .). Loosening toy nails in the handle lets the back and sides of the toolbox open outward, inducing glee in young learners as they repeatedly disassemble and reassemble Scout's house.
