An Award Winning Construction Workshop For Children Aged 2 - 16 Years
Welcome to The Orange ToolBox – a multi-award-winning construction skills education provider, inspiring children to learn through hands-on, child-led construction experiences.
From our purpose-built workshop in Blackboys, East Sussex, we deliver engaging construction workshops for children and young people aged 2–16 years, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Every session encourages creativity, confidence and practical learning, with our experienced team supporting each member as they explore, build and discover at their own pace.
As we continue to grow, our Mobile Division now brings The Orange ToolBox directly into schools, clubs and communities, making our unique construction experiences accessible to even more children across the South East.
Whether visiting our workshop or welcoming us into your setting, our mission remains the same:
To inspire confidence, develop practical life skills and ignite a lifelong love of learning through construction.
Build Skills. Build Confidence. Build the Future.
We are delighted to have been awarded 'Best Construction SKills Educator 2025' in South East England by international 'Build' Magazine
