Ages 5–12 · learn by doing

Real tools.
Real skills.
Real fun.

ToolSmart Kids turns a workshop into a game. Children learn what tools are called and what they do, read a real ruler, bolt parts together, see how machines move — then solve fix-it missions with a friendly guide.

Eight academies, one workshop

Each academy teaches a real skill with a short lesson, then hands the child a challenge worth solving. Artwork below is from inside the app.

An inch ruler with a pencil and a wooden block

Measuring Academy

Read a ruler the way a builder does: whole inches, half and quarter inches, then centimeters — and measure up to build.

Included
A set of bolts, nuts and washers

Fasteners

Screws, bolts, nuts and washers. Children turn, thread, match and assemble, learning why each fastener exists.

Included
Three interlocking gears on a crank base

How Machines Work

Gears, pulleys, levers, wheels and axles, ramps. Children build the machine, then watch the motion they caused.

Included
A magnifying glass over a workshop plan

Tool Detective

Find the hidden tool, listen to the clue, match the tool to the job. Deduction, not guessing.

Included
A red wagon with a spare wheel and a toolbox

Fix-It Missions

Tommy hands over a job: fix the toy wagon. Pick the tools, order the steps, tighten the axle, test the drive.

Included
A rendered construction crane with hook and counterweight

Construction Crew

Dig, lift, load and roll across five site jobs, then build a whole neighborhood one machine at a time.

Expansion
A toy car body seen from the side

Junior Mechanic

Five garage jobs: car body, tyres and tread, the engine bay, dashboard warning lights, then the drive belt.

Expansion
A rendered parts bin with inventor components

Junior Inventor

Circuits, magnets and motors, built from real-looking parts: light a bulb, sort by magnet, spin a motor.

Meet Toolbox Tommy

Every workshop needs a good guide

Tommy is the helper who walks children through ToolSmart Kids. He explains what a tool is for in plain words, drops a hint when a challenge gets stuck, and never just hands over the answer. He also teaches the habits that matter the moment a real tool is in reach.

1
Ask a grown-up first Real tools need a grown-up nearby. Tommy reminds children every time.
2
Gear on, eyes open Safety glasses, gloves and a clear, tidy space before any job starts.
3
Put it back where it belongs A tidy toolbox means the next job is faster and safer.
Built for real families

Made to be handed over, not supervised

Short lessons, clear goals and no open chat with strangers — so a child can play while a grown-up gets on with something else.

Homeschool families

Measuring, fasteners, simple machines and cause-and-effect fit neatly into a hands-on science block, and every activity can be replayed.

Parents & grandparents

One payment, no add-ons pushed at the child, big tap targets and progress that saves by itself. Nothing to set up beyond an account.

Kids who like to know how

Instead of tapping through a cartoon, they tighten a bolt, line up a ruler and hear a gear train answer back. Effort shows up as XP and levels.

Pricing

Questions

Good things to know

What ages is it for?

Roughly 5 to 12. Younger children enjoy the measuring and matching activities with a grown-up nearby; older children work through the fastener, machine and fix-it challenges on their own.

Is this a subscription?

No. The main app is $3.99 paid once and used forever. Expansion packs are separate one-time purchases and nothing renews.

Does my child need real tools to play?

No — everything happens on screen. The app teaches tool names, uses and safety awareness. Children should always be supervised by an adult when using real tools.

Does progress save if we switch devices?

Yes. Sign in on a phone, tablet or laptop and the same account picks up where the child left off.

What exactly are the expansion packs?

Self-contained academies: Junior Mechanic Garage, Construction Crew Adventure, Junior Inventor STEM Lab and the Master Builder Bundle. They add new levels to an account that already owns the main app.

Can we try before paying?

Yes — the free demo lets you look around and try real activities without an account, and it does not save progress.

Give them a workshop of their own

Real tool names, real measuring, real problem solving — the kind of screen time that ends with “look what I worked out”.
