Let’s go through each item one by one and decide: Is it a tool that belongs in a toolbox?
1.
Boat – No, a boat is for sailing on water. Not a tool for fixing or building things.
2.
Utility knife – Yes! It cuts things like cardboard or tape. Definitely goes in a toolbox.
3.
Hammer – Yes! Used to hit nails or break things apart. Classic toolbox item.
4.
Pot of gold – No, that’s from stories (like leprechauns). Not a real tool.
5.
Screwdriver – Yes! Turns screws. Very common in toolboxes.
6.
Pliers – Yes! Grabs, bends, or cuts wires. Toolbox staple.
7.
Tape measure – Yes! Measures how long something is. Builders and fixers use it.
8.
Ladle – No, that’s for serving soup. Kitchen tool, not for a toolbox.
9.
Hat – No, you wear it on your head. Not a tool for fixing things.
10.
Bolt – Hmm… this is tricky. A bolt is a fastener — it goes *with* tools, but isn’t a tool itself. Think: you use a wrench to turn a bolt. So probably NOT colored as a “tool” here.
11.
Nut – Same as bolt — it’s a piece that goes with bolts. Not a tool you hold and use. Don’t color it.
So the tools that belong in the toolbox are:
- Utility knife
- Hammer
- Screwdriver
- Pliers
- Tape measure
Final Answer:
Color these items: utility knife, hammer, screwdriver, pliers, tape measure.
