Digging For the Perfect Gift for Little Boys

Toy store owner unearths Bruder truck toys

Little boys like toys with wheels! Little boys like trucks! Little boys like trucks that are “just like the real thing”. Little boys like Bruder trucks!

Our customers have told us about it and we have seen many, many little guys fixated on them over the years. But now that we have an almost two year-old grandson we have experienced it first-hand and let me tell you it is a powerful thing!

For the first few days he couldn’t keep his hands or eyes off of his backhoe. He had to learn how every single thing on that truck worked. Obsessed is the only word for it.  As vehicles are added to his collection, it is the same process. Move this button, lift that scoop and turn lever until he knows it intimately.

Perfect for indoor play or outdoors in the sand box, Bruder Toys has set the standard very high for trucks that feature model-like design and many features just like the originals. This German company has state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible facilities, which produce toys there that comply with or exceed European standards, which are the highest in the industry.

CAT, MACK, SCANIA, MAN and JCB are some of the replicas they produce in every conceivable construction vehicle you could imagine as well as garbage and recycling trucks, fire trucks, snow plows and logging trucks.  A wide range of price points offers you a Bruder truck for every budget from a CAT skid steer loader for $22.99 or a JCB Loader Backhoe for $49.99 all the way to the MACK Granite truck with JCB loader for $129.99. The ultimate! 

When your little one tries a Bruder truck, there is no going back. Scooping, digging and pushing that dirt is the ultimate truck experience for little boys age 3+.  

To add to the construction world fun, Bruder has recently come out with Bworld accessories. These include highly articulated men and women, buildings, pylons, signs and tools which all enhance the play experience.  Every truck should have a driver and these drivers can move!

If the farm and agriculture is more your style, Bruder farm equipment and accessories cover every job. Fendt and Massey Ferguson tractors, combine harvesters, straw balers, tipping trailers, plows and even potato diggers get all of the work done.
