Product description
The product is an accessory set that includes the light, a plastic imitation wood piece, a plastic toy wrench and 3 plastic screws. The toy set may be used alone or in conjunction with the Grow-With-Me Workshop which is not included here. The battery-operated work light has a limited use as an effective illumination device because of the dimness of the emitted light and the feature that turns the light off automatically after a five minute interval. The item provides amusement to a young child who is pretending to use tools in a real workshop. The toy is designed for children of 2 years of age and older. The sample will be returned, as requested.
