Publisher's Description of Dump Truck Kit
Wooden Dump Truck Building Set:
Challenge your children's imaginations while keeping them active and engaged with this fun and engaging wood model truck kit. Help develop their hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, problem-solving skills and sense of imagination and creativity while building their very own wooden craft truck from scratch!
Each kids truck building kit includes pre-cut wood pieces, plastic Dump Truck parts, screws, nails and brushes, and paint. Little crafters will fall in love with their finished project and enjoy a sense of accomplishment when they play with a dump truck that they have created using their own imagination and skill!
This line of wooden construction kits caught our eye because it's well, not flimsy! And kids actually assemble useable, quality objects, not just "clutter." Designed with the dual goals of bringing kids and parents together and teaching children basic carpentry skills, each kit includes all of the pieces, hardware, and step-by-step instructions needed to complete each project. Along the way, kids will build skills in assembling, gluing, hammering, sanding, and much more. Although the kits used to be leveled according to skill, they currently are organized based on the size of the project with many of those basic carpentry skills utilized in all projects. Although Dad's tools will suffice, the company also offers quality tools sized especially for a child's grip. If you've been looking for a manageable "Dad and Me" (or "Mom and Me") project, check these out!
