Child Tool Belts

Part of workshop time is learning skills, and part, I’m afraid, is a bit like dress-up. Kids like to imitate us. They like to do what we are doing and wear what we are wearing. Of course, my tool belt even partially loaded will not fit my child’s waist. It immediately falls down. He wants to wear it so badly that he ends up holding it up with both hands. After a few minutes it becomes a safety concern. One I fear for his safety as he has no free hands to protect himself, and two I fear for my tools that keep falling to the floor on a toolbelt that won’t stay up.

There are a bunch of toy tool belts but I prefer one of these which are a bit more serious.
