Product Information

Additionally, they build language skills whether playing independently or by playing together. 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! How do toy excavators work? For families following Waldorf or Montessori at home, this encourages a deeper engagement with the otys and encourage longer lasting play, versus light up toys that just entertained. Powered Your safest all around option when choosing a toy excavator that can grow with a child through the years is something large, open ended, durable and manually operated. Materials For truly detailed, realistic, high quality toy excavators you'll only find that sold as a single item. For remote controlled toy excavators, keep an eye on length of play between battery charges and whether or not the remote control is too complex for the child. Ride-on

If you live in a colder climate and your child wants to use the excavator in snow, opting for something higher quality can be a safer option as some cheap plastic can become brittle and snap in extreme temperatures. Excavator toys offer educational and developmental benefits for children. From an educational perspective, children begin to learn about technology and engineering principles —two core tenets of STEM learning.Along with building their creativity and self worth through imaginative play, when playing in groups, children learn to take turns and play with others.

Most hard sided toy excavators are made for sandbox use. Things to look for and consider before bringing your toy excavator into sand or dirt would be the wheel depth (how easily it can ride in sand) and how hard it'll be to clean sand off afterwards.

Some ride on excavators feature lights and sounds, others are entirely operated manually with levers and handles. Sets vs. Single Items Developmentally, children gain physical, cognitive, and social skills. Depending on the excavator you select, children hone their fine and gross motor skills. Similarly, their ability to reason and problem solve are enhanced as they work through the process of moving dirt or objects from one location to another by using the excavator. This encourages independent play and is critical in developing their internal reward system, confidence, and self esteem. The best ride on toy excavator is the Kettler CAT Ride-On Excavator. Powered by a child's feet, the four wheel toy excavator features a rotating cab and multi-lever crane arm. We like that this option has one of the largest weight capacities of 75 lbs while also featuring a realistic design. Typically you always want to avoid letting any toy sit in water or or the sun. Which toy excavators are good for a sandbox? For battery powered excavators, we suggest looking to see if there is an “on/off” switch in case parents want to turn off the lights/sounds for a time.
