Toy deals
Why we like it
This TEMI construction truck toy set includes a larger transport truck and a smaller crane, mixer, bulldozer, and excavator truck. The vehicles are all realistic and have moving parts (like a detachable trailer) that can help your child learn about construction design and function — all while developing fine motor skills. None of the toy parts require batteries for operation, as they're all friction-powered. Note that this set is designed for kids ages three to six.
