Twist some screws, turn a hand drill, and operate a saw! Johnny’s Workbench provides an intimate workshop space for children and families to safely explore hand tools together. The exhibit is a safe place for kids to investigate the form and function of tools they may have seen used in real life, but don’t typically get the chance to try themselves! Along with the fun of experimenting with tools, the practice of twisting, turning, sawing, and filing helps children develop their fine motor and eye-hand coordination skills.
