The Forest School Palm Drilling Kit is a practical hands-on woodworking activity set for supervised Forest School sessions, outdoor learning, bushcraft crafts and children’s nature-based projects. Designed to help develop confidence, coordination and safe tool awareness, this kit gives children the opportunity to practise drilling into natural wood using a simple hand-powered palm drill.
Ideal for making holes in wooden rounds, craft discs, name tags, mobiles, decorations, nature art and woodland project work, the palm drill is easy to hold and encourages slow, controlled drilling without the need for power tools. The included wooden rounds provide a ready-to-use natural material for group activities, while the cut resistant gloves help support safer working during practical craft sessions.
The gloves are supplied in a single size and are generally worn on the hand not holding the drill. In most cases, this means the glove is worn on the hand holding or steadying the wood, helping to add protection to the hand closest to the working area. As with all tool-based Forest School and woodworking activities, this kit should be used under suitable adult supervision with clear instruction and appropriate risk assessment.
A useful addition to Forest School tool kits, outdoor craft boxes, bushcraft teaching resources and woodland learning sessions, this palm drilling set is a great way to introduce children to traditional hand tools, natural materials and practical making skills.
