The BIG Power Worker Mini loader is a small, nimble construction machine that toddlers use to scoop sand, move blocks and set up their first building site.

This toy wheel loader belongs to the BIG Power Worker Mini series, designed especially for young children. Its shape fits a child's hand, so it is easy to push, lift and steer. The front bucket can be raised and lowered to carry sand, pebbles or small toys. The bright yellow colour and stickers look like real machinery, while the durable soft wheels leave no marks on the floor. The loader is sturdy and suits play in the garden, on the beach and indoors.

What your child develops

• Fine motor skills. Raising and lowering the bucket trains the fingers.
• Coordination. Your child learns to drive and load at the same time.
• Imagination. Play turns into work on a building site.
• Independence. The truck is easy to play with alone.

How to play

Fill the bucket with sand and show how to carry it to a dump truck or bucket. Your toddler will catch on quickly.

At home the loader can collect blocks and take them to the toy box – tidying up becomes a game.

A great gift

The mini loader is a lovely small gift for a young fan of machines.
