Description
This push along vehicle toy is a chunky little cement mixer made from beech wood, with a sunny yellow cab, grey trim and a natural wood drum banded in grey and yellow. The drum turns by hand, so it can be set spinning while the lorry trundles along, and the mixer rides on four black rubber tyres with treads that grip the floor. It measures 13.5cm long, 7.5cm wide and 10cm tall and weighs 0.25KG, a size small hands can hold, steer and push with ease. The cab has open windows on each side, with dark grey stripes on the front and sides, and the chute at the back is picked out in grey too.
It is a toy made for play, and it is at home on a playroom floor, a bedroom rug or a kitchen table turned into a building site. Pushing it along, turning the drum and pretending to deliver a load of cement are all part of the fun, and the chunky cab and wheels are easy to grab. We think it makes a cheerful present for any little one who stops to watch every lorry that rumbles down the street, and it looks good on a shelf between games.
The body and drum are made from beech, a dense, close-grained hardwood, with metal fixings holding the cab and wheel arches in place and plastic hubs at the centre of each wheel. The yellow and grey finish sits alongside bare beech on the chassis, cab roof and drum, so the warm grain of the wood shows through. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft, barely damp cloth and dry it straight away rather than soaking it, as wood never likes being left wet. Set it out with a few wooden blocks for an instant construction scene, or wrap it up for a young builder in the family.
