Tonka Steel Classics 3-Pack – Durable Metal Construction Vehicles Set

We line them up at the end of the day like a real fleet parking. This ritual helps with the transition from playtime to bedtime. They provide comforting routine.

My son pretends to fill them with gas and check their tires. He mimics what he sees me do with our car, which is adorable. It extends the role-playing in sweet ways.

The packaging was minimal and eco-friendly, which I appreciated. The trucks were held securely with simple cardboard and paper. We were able to start playing right away with no frustrating plastic clamshells.

They have a pleasant, mild metallic smell that reminds me of hardware stores. It's not a chemical smell, just the scent of painted steel. It adds to the authentic experience.

My two year old loves the dump truck the most. He fills it with sand, rocks, and small toys and dumps them out repeatedly. The mechanism is smooth and sturdy enough for him to operate himself.
