Janod - BricoKids DIY Giant Magnetic Workbench - 40 Tools, Height Adjustable

The Janod Brico Kids Giant Magnetic Workbench is the full workshop - a wooden kids workbench with 40 accessories, a magnetic backboard for the tools, a working vice, a chalkboard and a teaching clock. Height adjustable with removable feet, so it works for the littlest builders and grows with them.

Height adjustable, which matters more than it sounds

Most toy workbenches are built for one age and outgrown within eighteen months. Removing the feet drops this one to a height a just-turned-three-year-old can actually reach, and putting them back raises it for a five or six-year-old still using it. That is the difference between two years of play and four.

What is included

• 40 accessories including hammer, spanner, screwdriver, planks, washers, screws and bolts
• Magnetic backboard so every tool has a visible home
• Working vice for clamping projects while both hands are busy
• Chalkboard panel for plans, prices and workshop signage
• Clock with movable hands, marked 1-12 with five minute increments
• Height adjustable with removable feet; suitable from 3 years

The clock is doing real teaching

Marked with both the hours and five minute increments, the clock lets a child physically move the hands to a time you name. Telling the time is one of those skills that stalls when taught abstractly and clicks when the hands are under a child's own fingers. Building it into the workshop means it gets used casually, over and over.

Building, not just miming

The planks, screws, bolts and washers mean children can construct something that holds together rather than tapping at a fixed peg. That shift - from pretending to build to actually building - is what keeps older children engaged, and it develops genuine problem solving, sequencing and hand strength along the way.

The entry point to the Brico range

This workbench anchors the wider Janod Brico Kids collection, which extends with the DIY trolley and further accessory sets. It is a substantial, wooden, non-electronic gift that a child returns to across several years - the kind of purchase that looks expensive on the day and looks like good value by the third birthday.

Made from wood with a robust painted finish, designed for daily use in a family home.
