"Even some of the more popular tools are actually quite
difficult for children to use. I like the fact that Valiant has tested
every tool it could find with teachers and children, and then selected
the best." Pete Douglas, Head Teacher, Lincolnshire.
"The sash cramps made it possible for children to include
beams in their frames, something I've hereto found impossible...I've been
truly amazed at the quality of the children's work, bearing in mind their
prior experience. The quality I put down to having the right kind of equipment
to promote accuracy." Alison Jones, Primary School Teacher, Lincolnshire.
