The BIG Power Worker Griffy is the first excavator for a little builder – light, easy to grip and tough enough for both the sandpit and play indoors.

This toy excavator is made in Germany for children aged 2 and up. The light build and ergonomic shape let toddlers hold and push it safely, and the bucket moves to dig sand or shift blocks. Soft plastic tyres are safe and quiet, so play works on the carpet as well as outdoors. The realistic excavator shape invites construction games – digging a hole, loading cargo and building a road.

What your child develops

• Fine and gross motor skills. Moving the bucket and pushing train the hands.
• Hand-eye coordination. The bucket has to hit the right spot.
• Imagination. Play turns into a real building site.
• Language. Kids learn new words – bucket, dig, load.

How to play

Show how to scoop sand with the bucket and pour it somewhere else. Your toddler will soon build hills and trenches alone.

Combine the excavator with a dump truck or blocks and play out how a new house is built.

A great gift

The Griffy excavator is a great gift for a toddler who loves construction machines.
