Wader Vehicles Truck Cement Mixer

Wader Vehicles Truck Cement Mixer

This Wader bright attractive chunky plastic mixer vehicle is one we have at work. I regularly play alongside and with children and this truck. I have even been known to fill the mixer with things churn it round and empty it.
I was with a child playing with this toy last week and thought I must write a review on it.

This mixer truck is made by Wader a German company. It is suitable for a chid aged over 2 years old
It is about 25.4 x 17.3 x 20.3 cm. Which is a good size for a young child to manipulate? This vehicle does move smoothly along on its soft rubber wheels

This vehicle is brightly cop loured blue cab yellow base and red mixer there is a sturdy red handle so that your child can carry this toy around. There is a small handle/knob that turns on the side of the truck this will turn the mixer drum round when it is turned manually. The mixer bowl turns easily.

The colours are strong, so you can start early colour recognition skills by telling your child the colours.

This toy is good for those early manipulative skills gross and fine motor control and imaginative play.
The child that I watched was fascinated by the mixer drum turning.
He filled the drum with a some dried pasta shapes and wound the handle/knob that enables the drum to turn. He turned this round many times watching the drum turn he certainly realised that turning the handle/ knob made the drum turn. After a long time I tried to move his play on by getting a few bricks and a plastic Lego person and encouraged the child to empty the mixer by pouring the contents out and use the Lego man to pretend build a house. My student was not ready to extend his play and went back to putting a few things in the mixer drum and churning it for a long time. I have seen other children use this vehicle in pretend play and make roads with it.

This truck seems very durable should last for ages if it gets dirty its easy to clean with warm soapy water.
Because this toy is so robust its suitable for home or school /childcare settings
