Melissa & Doug Shape-Sorting Dump Truck with Take-Along Town

Drive home the building blocks of basic math skills with this multi-faceted shape sorter and wooden truck in one! The nine brightly-colored shaped wooden blocks fit into cut-outs on three sides of the dump truck, making a satisfying "clunk" as they land in the hardwood truck bed. Wheels roll smoothly to deliver the blocks anywhere. Lift the back door and tilt the container to dump the blocks and start again! Two included play figures fit snuggly into the cab of the truck. This superbly crafted toy helps teach shape and color recognition and encourages imaginative play and creativity. Built-in tracks, colorful scenery, and fun play pieces let kids take their imaginations for a spin . . . and take playtime anywhere they want to go! Unfold the sturdy wooden case to create an illustrated play surface with built-in road tracks for the three wooden wheeled vehicles (a police car, ambulance, and fire engine) and a wooden helicopter to race to the rescue. Set up a bridge and a city tunnel with a monorail that slides across the top! Wooden play pieces include buildings, traffic signs, and a tree to enhance imaginative storytelling. All the pieces store in the fold-up case with convenient carrying handle for easy cleanup and travel (there's plenty of room to add other toys, too!). Keep playtime rolling for kids three and older and encourage independent play and motor skill development.
