About MuSo Tool Cart

Solution

  The tool cart includes various wooden shapes, each pre-drilled with holes of different sizes. Kids choose their preferred pieces and assemble them using screws. The main challenge: matching screw sizes to holes, encouraging spatial reasoning and precision. The process is self-directed and exploratory, enabling kids to construct freely.
