Cars… and more cars!
Whenever you’re out of gift ideas for boys, go for the ultimate ‘boy toy’ a.k.a cars!
Little Tikes Cozy Truck Ride-On
Be prepared to blow your kid’s mind with this truck-styled toy car.
The removable floorboard is great for toddlers, and when they get a bit older, they can Flintstone everywhere around the house!
The only thing left to make this truck 100% real is a driver’s license, but don’t worry, the driver’s license of this truck is granted at 18 months old!
Holy Stone RC Cartoon Race Car
This fun race car is a carnival of colors!
It’ll attract your kid’s attention the moment he opens his gift. But it would be nothing compared to the first time he’ll discover the 2-channel remote control’s reverse left function which will keep the car spinning around like crazy!
A nice salsa rhythm starts to play when you push the yellow button on the back of the car in case you and your hubby need to brush up your salsa skills while your kid enjoys his fun race car!
However, my only advice is; get tons of AA batteries! (3 AA batteries for the car + 2 AA batteries for the remote).
Because your kid will keep running this thing around and you won’t be able to supply enough batteries.
Friction Powered Cars Push and Go Constructive Vehicles
Get the garage ready mommy, a push and go tractor, bulldozer, mixer truck, and dumper are coming your way!
These eco-friendly friction car toys require no batteries and your little one can safely play around with them without injuries because there are no sharp edges to pinch his tiny fingers.
Your baby will get some nice hand-eye coordination. He’ll learn to recognize shapes and functions of objects and the splashes of color will stimulate his visual development.
Green Toys Dump Truck
