Advantages: durable , bright attractive easy to push

Disadvantages: none

We have several wader vehicles at my work place. I had not heard / noticed this German manufacturer before.
The Wader toy I shall be describing today is the tow truck. I have played with this toy several times alongside my pupils .

The recommended age for this toy is 18 months upwards I would say that's about right.
The tow truck is a fair sized toy approx. 19 x 10 x 12 cm a perfect size for little hands to push and play with . It is made of plastic. The plastic is good the tow truck very durable will last a long time. The colours are good and bright red and yellow with a little blue.

The shape and design of this truck is quite simple. The red cab has open windows at front and sides . There are two yellow plastic lights on top of the truck the front lights are blue/grey plastic discs.
The interior of the cab molder blue plastic seats and dashboard. There is a tow bar on the front of the vehicle .
The back of the truck yellow with an extending red and yellow hook .
The 4 wheels black with red hub caps turn easily when this vehicle is pushed,

This toy truck is attractive to young children easy to push, rolls on its wheels easily. My children enjoy just pushing it along the floor, practicing their gross motor control . .The also enjoy hooking other "broken" down vehicles to the hook perfecting their fine motor control. Then towing them to the "garage" using their imaginations, pretending many scenarios .

A group of my 3-4 year olds will spend a long time playing with this and the other Wader vehicles we have. They are happy sometimes playing on their own or interacting with others . We adults occasionally play that push the truck to us and push it back again game with them.
These plastic tow trucks are really good sturdy durable easy to clean , ideal for indoor or outdoor play.

This Wader tow truck costs £6.99 through Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wader-36160-Basics-Tow-Tru ck.

Would I recommend ? Yes
