Blippi BLP0095 EA Blippi-Excavator, Yellow

Product Information

If your child wants to use their toy excavator outdoors, keep in mind that water, humidity, and sunlight can all cause stickers to peel and paints to chip more quickly. The digger also comes with a removable wooden driver and measures in at nearly 7″ tall, and about 12. While these aren’t true-to-life construction toys, they’re fun with moving parts and working wheels so your child can push these mini cars all over the house and make an affordable pick to bring to the playground or take on toss in a purse for on the go toys. I'm Rachel, a multi-passionate millennial mom with a Master's Degree in Education, who loves helping others embrace who they truly are while figuring out this whole "momming" + "adulting" thing.

You can find toy them in a range of styles too, including models made from plastic, wood, and metal options. Generally, toy excavators work by manipulating the boom arm to lift and scoop items up with the bucket. Along with an excavator, you’ll also get plenty of other construction vehicles including a toy crane, a cement truck, a steamroller, and a dump truck. It's a great way to encourage interactive reading experiences when read alongside the Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site books, and can serve as a wonderful bedtime toy to help little ones drift off to dreamland. If you're looking for something a little cheaper than the TOMY John Deere Big Scoop 15” Excavator in case your kid forgets it at the beach, then we love the CAT Sand Set.It comes with only five construction vehicles (excavator, crane, dump truck, steam roller, and front loader) and two traffic cones. If you want the most realistic, fully operational ride on excavator digger toy with middle of the road pricing, then the CAT Ride-On Digger is the winner. Many excavators, while sold separately, are intended to be part of a complete set for a toy construction site. When you press the back of the excavator, it make an engine noises and the headlights light up; though you cannot change the batteries so once it dies this feature no longer works. Beyond simply having fun, children of all ages and genders can begin to understand basic engineering concepts that relate to STEM learning, while building critical mental and social developmental skills.

Children are generally curious and will likely want to know all the parts of their new construction toy, a trip to the library to find some books to answer all of their questions can be great for developing language and a love of literacy too! This style is generally rolls around via pedals, similar to a tricycle, or via the child sitting and pushing with their feet (think the Flintstones or a scooter). For truly detailed, realistic, high quality toy excavators you'll only find that sold as a single item. The construction pieces are quite small and we would strongly urge parents to hold off on introducing those until at least 3 years old as they do pose a choking hazard. In total, you’ll get 20 pieces which includes two construction workers, a rock, and working excavator toy parts on both the digger and the truck.For most families, the quality will be fine, however if you prefer something a little nicer, then we love Le Toy Van's mini wooden construction vehicle set. We like that you can lock the arm into position if you prefer, and it has the most realistic features for a ride on excavator we could fine.
