RE: 2.5yr old boy toy help!
I was thinking of tools also. LT has a workshop that's pretty neat. We don't have it, but one of DS's friends does. It comes with tools that fit into various pieces. So, the screwdriver fits in the large plastic screws. The screws fit in shutters that you can use to attach to the window, etc. The parts are pretty big and I wouldn't be concerned about choking.

I'm thinking the one I've seen may have been discontinued and replaced with this:
