Guidecraft Block Science Big Wrecking Ball Truck, Wooden Toy for Kids

As a design-based company with strong roots in education, we are in a unique position to bring theory, safety, and quality all together into the design and manufacturing of our toys and furniture. Whether it's fostering their imagination with our lofts and dress-up centers, connecting kids more closely to nature with our toys, or providing a comfortable reading nook, we take pride in contributing to children's development.

Our collection of educational toys has been designed to encourage early development, spark curiosity, and inspire hands-on learning through play. We prioritize quality and create toys that are built to last (and not end up in a landfill!). Durable, easy-to-clean materials make Guidecraft learning toys the right choice for the home and classroom.

Industry experts, educators, and parents design our toy sets based on every child's innate patterns of play. One of our products is a large wooden (beech wood) wrecking ball toy truck with plastic parts that teaches children about simple machines: pendulums. The removable trailer with a large wooden crane is designed to be used with Unit Blocks (Unit Blocks not included). The crane rotates so a child can align the wrecking ball with their unit block structures, and the articulating trailer allows the truck to make sharp turns.

The educational benefits of this toy include spatial reasoning, early engineering concepts, and the mechanics of simple machines, as well as social-emotional benefits such as cooperation, sharing, language, and self-expression. The suggested age for this toy is 3+, and its dimensions are 18"H x 5.5"D x 16.75"L.
