Kraul Block & Tackle Pulley Kit – Explore Forces in Motion
The Kraul Block & Tackle Pulley Kit invites children to discover the fascinating principles of force, movement and balance through real hands-on experimentation. Using beautifully crafted wooden components, ropes and pulleys, children can build working lifting systems and explore how simple machines make heavy loads easier to move.
By experimenting with different pulley combinations, young engineers learn how force can be redirected, multiplied and shared — developing a practical understanding of physics through play. Whether set up indoors, in the garden or taken outdoors for exploration, this open-ended kit encourages curiosity, problem-solving and independent discovery.
Made in Germany by Kraul, a family-run company known for its thoughtful science and nature-inspired learning tools, this kit supports deep engagement rather than quick outcomes. Children are invited to test ideas, make adjustments, observe results and build confidence in their own thinking.
This set is especially wonderful for children who enjoy building, movement-based learning and understanding how the physical world works — supporting spatial awareness, logical reasoning and perseverance.

🌲 Why We Love It at Magic Forest Shop
At Magic Forest Shop, we believe children learn best when they can touch, build, test and explore real materials. Kraul’s pulley kits bring physics to life in a calm, engaging way, using natural components that invite repeated experimentation, outdoor play and long-term curiosity.
