Introducing Tinker Kits! 

Explore trades through play!

These inspiring kits are made by The Learnary, with funding from the Industry Training Authority, to explore trade skills such as metalwork, electronics, tile work, pipefitting, heavy machinery and more. All while having fun and being curious.  

Perfect for classrooms, small groups, and families. These kits are well designed for people of all ages to work on together; each kit has a recommended age, ranging from 5+ to 14+.  

Make real things! Use real tools! Have fun tinkering!  


And stay tuned...more kits are coming soon...
