1. A CAT steel dump truck that's ready for action. Whether they're digging for treasure in the backyard or crafting structures in the living room, this baby is built to handle whatever your kiddo throws at it.
2. Or a Power Haulers 2.0 dump truck that'll inspire some serious interactive playtime. Pushing it forward revs the engine, while reversing activates back-up sounds — just like the trucks they've seen zipping around their neighbourhood.
3. And a Power Haulers 2.0 excavator because they'll need to clear some space for their new build (duh!).
4. A wheel loader so they can easily transport heavy loads of toys and accessories around their play area. It has realistic lights and sounds, so they can pretend they're at a real construction site.
5. A Little Machines Jumbo Crane playset that'll take their fun time to ~new heights~ (sorry, we had to). It'll transform into a two-foot play space that includes a slew of cute — but realistic — construction site deets, like dirt terrain, road signs, and two mini vehicles.
6. A Power Haulers 2.0 wheel loader that makes all the sounds of the real thing. Moving it forward starts its engine, and it even has a light-up cabin for even more added realism.
7. A three-pack of mini construction vehicles if they always have a hard time picking favourites. They'll get a mixer, grader, and a dump truck — perfect for tiny construction sites.
8. Or a three-pack with a wheel loader, excavator, and steam roller if those seem more up their alley. Since each piece is made of metal, you won't have to stress about them getting dinged after their first rigorous play sesh.
9. A Power Mini Crew bulldozer with all the moving parts of the real deal. Pop in some AA batteries (they come included!) to get those lights and sounds going.
10. A Power Haulers 2.0 cement mixer because no construction site is complete without fresh concrete. They may not be mixing up the real thing, but thanks to realistic effects, they'll feel like they are (sans the mess, thank goodness).
11. A Little Machines Store 'N Go playset so they can take their construction imagination with 'em wherever they go. All the pieces tuck neatly into a travel-friendly storage case, too!
12. A transforming wheel loader that goes from a stylish SUV to a construction vehicle in a snap. We love more options for creativity!
13. Or a Truck Constructors dump truck that's cleverly disguised as a sleek pickup truck. This thing can haul whatever bits and bobs their little hearts desire.
14. A Future Force telehandler that gives the classic construction vehicle a futuristic makeover. Don't worry, it's still got an extendable arm so they can reach for the sky (with their imagination, that is!).
15. And a matching Future Force cement mixer to complete their futuristic construction crew. You'll probably love that batteries are included, too, saving you the trouble of having to dig around for a set when they immediately want to start playing.
16. A Power Mini Crew dump truck if you don't have the space for the full-size version. Despite its size, it still has amazing attention to detail, so it'll look (and sound) realistic as heck.
17. And lastly, a Future Force dump truck that'll let them power through whatever project they've got in mind.
