Why we LOVE this product!
Nuts-and-bolts sets are a fantastic first engineering toy, and PlanToys' wooden version is sturdy and beautifully made. Twisting bolts and turning a real screwdriver is great fine motor practice, and kids love that they can build something, take it apart and start over.
It's open-ended, so the same set can become a car one day and a robot the next.
Two things to weigh: 40 pieces limits bigger builds, and $59.99 is on the pricier side. For a budding builder, it's a lasting, sustainable choice.

About
EarthHero
EarthHero was founded in 2017 by Ryan Lewis, who wanted to make sustainable shopping easier and more accessible. After seeing the environmental impact of traditional consumer habits, he envisioned an online marketplace where people could discover products that better reflect their values. EarthHero was created to bring together thoughtfully selected brands and make more responsible shopping choices easier to find.
Although EarthHero offers products across many areas of everyday life, its selection of toys and games is especially appealing to families looking for fun, engaging products with sustainability in mind. From creative activities and building toys to games and imaginative play items, its collection gives children opportunities to explore, create, and learn through play.
EarthHero evaluates the products it carries using a sourcing approach that considers materials, company responsibility, ownership and representation, packaging and end-of-life impact, and give-back programs. This helps shoppers discover products from brands that take environmental and social responsibility seriously.
For families who want to bring more thoughtful choices into their homes without sacrificing fun, EarthHero offers a way to discover toys and games that encourage creativity while keeping sustainability in view.
