Stubby Hammer - Pack of 6
These chunky, compact hammers are ideal for EYFS and Primary settings. Short-handled with a heavier head, they help with controlled, accurate woodwork in small hands. A popular pick for construction play, tool benches, and real-life learning. Recommended for children aged 3+ years under direct adult supervision.
When you need a hammer that’s just the right size for smaller hands but still packs a punch, the stubby hammer is your go-to. With a short 16cm handle and a reassuringly weighty head, this tool offers great balance and control—ideal for helping children develop coordination, grip strength and confidence in woodwork.
Some schools and settings prefer this type over longer-handled hammers, as there's less leverage for wild swings (and fewer near misses). Instead, it encourages deliberate, focused hammering, supporting children to practise real techniques safely. They’re also easy to handle and store—bonus!
Perfect for EYFS woodwork areas, KS1 tool stations, Forest School sessions or Primary DT corners, these hammers offer a real “doing it for myself” moment. And while they look the part, they’re not just for play—these are proper tools designed to stand up to active use.
Colours may vary, but the quality stays the same.
