Red Toolbox, a new and innovative line of specially designed tools, offers quality time in a box for kids and parents. (These tools are for moms too.)
Red Toolbox founder Ami Rosenfeld grew up with the Do It Yourself (DIY) business, as his father was the founder of Israel's renowned Hyper Rosenfeld chain, founded in 1956.
Ami always enjoyed working on projects and learning more about how things worked. The father of four children and a DIY enthusiast, Ami noticed something was missing in the DIY market - there were no carpentry-type projects for children and no "real tools" for children. Ami would get out his tools to do household chores, and he'd immediately get a ready-made audience, as his four children would join the party. That, along with his passion for the industry gave life to Red Toolbox. http://amplify.com/u/a15ize

In my house, home improvement is a family event. My kids love to lend a hand whenever they can. Sometimes they are so anxious to help, they tend to get in the way instead of being of assistance. I don’t want to discourage them from helping, but at the same time, I don’t need them in the way. So what is a dad to do? Get them a kid size tool set.
You can find kid tool sets at most home improvement stores — Red Toolbox has a 10-piece for just $20. It comes with the basic stuff dad has in his tool belt, just smaller versions. It is a great way for them to learn the names of commonly used tools. So as they follow you around, you can have them hand you your tools on request. For instances, next time you ask one of your kids to grab a speed square, they won’t get confused in the fact it is shaped like a triangle.
So go out and reward your kids with their own set of tools for the eagerness they display in lending good-old dad a hand. http://amplify.com/u/a15iz8

A big sister reviews Red Toolbox's tool set and treasure chest, perfect for her 5-year old brother's level. "They have a bunch of different projects and they make it easy to determine which one would be best for your child. They have three levels. 1 {beginner}, 2 {Intermediate} and 3 {Advanced}. The kit we got is level one so perfect for my little brother." This would make the perfect Father's Day Gift that you can do with your child!

The Red Toolbox philosophy is based on creating opportunities for mothers and fathers and their children to spend quality time together, as they work, create and have fun! Their products create a perfect environment in which to work as a creative team. Parents are offered the chance to get closer to their kids, spend more time with them and share their guidance and support, while enjoying the mutual satisfaction of making something useful! And don’t forget: Uncles, Aunts, Grandpa and Grandma can join in the fun too.
Woodworking projects and carpentry helps children to:
Gain control over their bodies through development of hand-eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength
Analyze, evaluate and apply solutions to problems. Read more: http://redtoolbox.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/red-toolbox-makes-sure-families-have-fun-while-getting-back-to-basics/ http://amplify.com/u/a149fr
