Tool License for Crafty Kids: Experience craftsmanship, learn safely, take pride
In the bib der dinge in Bochum, a special family experience awaits children from 7 years old in August 2026: During the Tool License for Crafty Kids, they will discover the woodworking shop, get to know tools, and practice safe handling step by step. In the end, they will even create a treasure chest together. The program is planned as a multi-day course from August 3 to 7, 2026, and includes at least three morning sessions.

What children will learn here with their hands and minds
Here, the focus is not only on craftsmanship but also on concentration, fine motor skills, and a good sense of safety. The children will learn about hammers, saws, screwdrivers, clamps, vices, files, rasps, sandpaper, and measuring instruments and will try out what works well and what does not. That’s what makes learning fun: practical experience, clear rules, and visible successes.
