Good to know
Questions parents ask
Are Handy Famm tools real tools or toys?
Real tools. Handy Famm makes real, working hand tools sized for kids ages 3 to 9: the hammers drive real nails and the screwdrivers turn real screws. Each tool is designed from scratch for small hands, with safety features adult tools don't have, so kids can build real projects alongside a parent.
What ages are Handy Famm tools for?
Ages 3 to 9. Tape measures and safety glasses are rated 3+. Hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches, scissors and tool sets are rated 5+. Most families start with a tape measure, then add a hammer or screwdriver around age 5.
Are Handy Famm tools safe for kids?
Yes, with an adult nearby. Every Handy Famm tool is certified to ASTM F963, the US toy safety standard. The giraffe hammer has a real metal head with a built-in safety guard, and Snippy the Toucan scissors have blunt tips and a safety lock. Kid-sized safety glasses come in the Starter Tool Box.
Which tool should we start with?
For a first tool, start with a Lola the 3-in-1 Tape Measure (tape measure, level and angle finder in one, ages 3+). For a gift, the Kids Starter Tool Box is our best seller: a giraffe hammer, a 3-in-1 tape measure and kids safety glasses in one box, ages 5+.
What awards has Handy Famm won?
Handy Famm was named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2025 (Parenting), won Parents' Picks Awards three years running (2024, 2025 and 2026), won the NHPA Retailers' Choice Award 2026 for the Giraffe Hammer, and ranked #2 in Bob Vila's Holiday Gift Guide. It has been featured in TIME, The Washington Post, Good Morning America and The View.

US orders of $39.95 or more (after discounts) ship free, and smaller orders ship for a flat $6. Orders leave our warehouse in 1 to 2 business days and usually arrive 3 to 5 business days later. Unused items can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a full refund with no restocking fee, and every tool has a one-year warranty against defects.
