Slide one of three double-sided blueprint cards into the tool bench's diagnostic center and Handy Manny's voice guides children through the assembly of the pictured project: a boat, wagon, birdhouse, and more (a poster offers ideas for two dozen additional projects). Adding to the cool tool factor are more than 40 mix-and-match plastic pieces, plus a drill and a saw with sound effects and moving parts.
