My Thoughts

 The Dino Construction line blends my son's two favorite things--trucks and dinosaurs. He got to test out the T-Rex Skid Loader, and he absolutely adores it. There is nothing not to like about this toy. First off, it's nice and big with lots of moving parts, but completely kid powered. I love toys that don't make noise and don't require batteries. The plastic is bright and colorful, but also very sturdy. There are no small pieces to break off. The way they make the different pieces of the truck look like dinosaur parts is really awesome. The scoop has teeth and the cab windows look like eyes. The mini cranes on the side are like arms.  It's a very imaginative idea!




We found the T-Rex worked well both inside and outside. My son really enjoyed taking him down to the beach and using him to move the rocks and sand around. When we got back home, it was easy to wipe him down. We have had tons of trucks and tons of dinosaurs over the years, but the Dino Construction line has quickly become one of my son's favorite toys. Now, I am going to have to get him the whole set! These are wonderful, well made toys that encourage independent play and imagination.

I love these. My son would love them too. He is autistic and love anything to do with trucks and cars and dinosaurs.
