Let’s Build Together!

Welcome to the world of Design & Drill® Bolt Buddies™ where your little one learns the basics of simple construction and engineering while building fine motor skills with tools designed to be just right for tiny hands. Just like your little builder, Bolt Buddies expresses a wide range of emotions that can be swipe-swapped to create characters that help little ones express all their big feelings. Bolt Buddies are ready to work, so let’s build a better world. Come play with us!

Step 2: Use the power drill to screw the clear bolts into the holes of the rocket parts. Make sure all parts are secured with bolts to prevent parts from being lost during play.
