Holiday Gift Guide - Tonka Strong Arms Fire Truck Review & Giveaway

 Every little boy needs to have at least one fire truck to play with.  If you're looking to get one for your son (or daughter) this holiday season, than the Tonka Strong Arms is definitely the way to go. My son has loved Tonka since he was old enough to crawl, and we have had tons of Tonka toys over the years. But the Strong Arms in a little different than any of the toys we've had from them in the past.

The Tonka Strong Arms Fire Truck  has a ladder that moves up and down, a siren that goes off, and it even makes sparks. But here is the cool part part...It doesn't use any batteries!  It accomplishes all these amazing feats with the built it lever on the side of the truck. Your child just squeezes the lever to get things reved up and the siren wails and the sparks fly. Its will provide hours of fun for kids of all ages and you'll never have to worry about changing batteries. This makes it a better choice for the environment as well as for our wallets because we all know how expensive batteries can get.



In addition to the fire truck, the Strong Arms collection also makes a bulldozer, dump truck,  and garbage truck. They offer the same quality that we have come to expect from all the Tonka products. They have even recently won some great awards including the 2010 Dr. Toy’s Best 100 Products for the Tonka Strong Arm Fire Engine and Dr. Toy’s Best Picks Award for the Tonka Strong Arm Garbage Truck. If you are looking to get one for your child this holiday season, they are available in retailers nationwide including but not limited to Wal-Mart, Target , Toys R Us and K-Mart.

In honor of the holiday season, one very lucky winner is going to receive their own Tonka Strong Arms.
