High quality pull apart toy
High quality toy, the injection molded plastic is very well done, as are the graphics on the operator and his dog. Overall, it is nice, the price is a bit high at 25 bucks, when compared to other toys.Very easy for a 3 year old to assemble, there are 4 gray bolts for the tires, and 2 clear bolts for the seat and the front bucket. The 2 spare bolts go into the back of the loader.The operator, dog, and plastic cones all key into the bolt heads, so they stay in place fairly well. Having the box as part of the play is a good idea, but it didn't last long with a young kid being rough on it. It went into the recycling quickly, and we used a car themed playmat instead.The hat for the operator fell off all the time, so my kid thought something is wrong with it. The design is a bit different than the other bits in the kit, so it will stay together, but took a fair amount of force (3 lbs?) to get it to lock in and stay connected.

Neat little bulldozer
Got this for my toddler who is OBSESSED with construction vehicles and cars. His face absolutely lit up when I showed it to him. Its a great little set but the description is a bit misleading as it says "drill" - in reality it comes with your typical manual screwdriver, NOT a powered drill. Nevertheless, the toy is fantastic for fine motor skills and figuring out how to pieces interlock and connect with each other. The quality, while plastic, is pretty well made and has survived a few drops and throws so far.It also comes with a construction dude and his dog along with some safety cones - perfect for pretend play at the construction site! The box does fold out to become a construction site, but as it IS made with cardboard, I don't foresee this outlasting the toy itself. This toy is perfect for any kiddo who enjoys construction vehicles or loves taking apart and putting stuff together again.

Perfect toy for that young mechanic, age 3+
This educational toy will challenge your child's creativity and mechanical aptitude. A youngster aged 3+ will get to build a bulldozer using a special screwdriver that fits nicely into the plastic bolt heads. There are step by step instructions, however, your child may be able to figure it out on their own. Let your child play with this educational toy and observe their creativity and motor skills improve. The child will learn to build with a screwdriver, and they will be thrilled to see the bulldozer that they created. You get a worker Bolt Buddy and his animal pal. The box unfolds to create a construction work site where the child can play with the bulldozer. There are some orange cones included for the work site. I think any young child over 3 would be happy to spend some time playing with this toy. The parts are a nice size for little hands and the quality is excellent. Great toy for your child or as a gift.

Awesome bulldozer toy for your little one!
First off, I have to say they got really creative and used the box as a "playset" for the toys! It's a nice well made box too, so it makes sense to have it double as a playground for the toys. We loved building the dozer! The instructions were just illustrations, but it was very straightforward. My kid loves playing with this toy and taking it apart and rebuilding it. I am going to end up getting other vehicles made by the company so we can swap the faces and hats/hair like they show on the insert page.

Cute toy for builders!
Don’t let the name fool you, there’s no drill! My nephew was able to figure it out but I think we were both disappointed when we opened it and realized there wasn’t a drill. He still had a great time playing with it and it’s so cute the way the box turns into a little workshop.The price is a little steep for the small amount of “toys” it comes with.

Quality Educational Toy!
I was completely impressed with this little truck. The whole package and process is SO thoughtful and intentional. The instructions were incredibly clear and I loved that even the box is an opportunity for creativity and fun.The screwdriver and screws are really chunky and easy to hold for small hands. They also screw in really smoothly.Personally i think there is just enough pieces to add on with the screws, so I can't imagine a child getting bored with the process before it's finished. It probably takes about 5 minutes in total.I would absolutely buy more of these toys for my son. He loves taking it apart and building it all over again every day!

Doesn't hold up well.
EDIT: After playing with this for a few weeks now, 2 of the clear bolts have cracks on the top and are going in the trash. I am a bit disappointed, as it seemed like a super nice toy, but it needs to be more durable apparently.Original Review:This little bulldozer comes in pieces so that you can put it together (and take it apart again and again)! My 3 year old helped me, but she got tired of turning the screwdriver pretty quick, so she mostly helped assemble while I connected the pieces. The screws were plenty easy enough to get in, and the screwdriver is easy to use. After it was together, we flipped the box around to play with it on. That is a very neat packaging idea that they have there! The box flips inside out, and various pieces punch out of it to build a little cardboard play-set for the bulldozer. Overall, I think this is a pretty neat little set. I do wish that there was a space on the bulldozer that the screwdriver could attach, as I am thinking it is going to be hard to keep track of that. Also, the little dog can fit on top of the screw heads, but he falls off when the bulldozer is being driven around.

Wish it came with a drill
Got this for my 2 and a half year old. He absolutely loves it. He loves all car related toys in general. Build quality is good, should survive a few drops and throws.He understands where each part goes, however, he's not able to grasp how to work the screw driver yet. I wish he came with a drill so he would be able to build it on his own.I like how they make use of the box for additional play.

Una ruspa piccola ma molto carina per bambini con in più con accessori.
Una ruspa piccola ma molto carina per bambini con in più con accessori.La ruspa e gli accessori sono realizzati in plastica rigida che ben resiste agli urti e ai "lanci" o cadute per terra.La ruspa è dotata di bulloni di plastica, che aiuta i bambini a migliorare le loro abilità motorie. Le ruote e il sedile possono essere facilmente avvitati e rimossi grazie al cacciavite giocattolo incluso.La scatola contiene vari accessori e laa scatola stessa si trasforma in uno sfondo per il gioco, aggiungendo un ulteriore elemento di divertimento. La cosa carina sono la presenza di accessori per personalizzare la ruspa; questo aiuta sia dal punto di vista estetico che delle capacità motorie, rendendo il giocattolo adatto a diverse età e livelli di destrezza.In conclusione, questa ruspa è un'ottima scelta per i bambini, poiché unisce il divertimento del gioco all'opportunità di imparare a avvitare e smontare le parti. Questo fa si che la coordinazione e la manualità vengano stimolati in modo creativo e giocoso.Non ho trovato nessun aspetto negativo, gioco semplice ma stimolante.

Adorable bulldozer playset
The media could not be loaded. This is such a cute little Playset which can double as a display item as well on the shelf.I like that the box forms part of the play and what makes it so cute is that it contains a little screwdriver to make it all too.It's advertised as an educational toy and it can certainly help with motor skills as you have to attach the wheels and the digger bit yourself with the provided screwdriver.I think building the toy will also give little ones a sense of pride and independence, and any little boy who likes trucks and cars will love this.A good interactive activity that will last, in terms of play but also as on the back of the box is a barcode so you can scan to see what else you can do!£25 seems abit much at first but I think the quality of this and the hours of fun this will provide makes it more than worth it.I'm currently searching to see if this comes in any other sets to purchase!Really happy and I know my son will adore this too.

Gioco ben assemblato e buone le plastiche
Il gioco è fatto molto bene!Sono soddisfatto dell' articolo in quanto la plastica è robusta e il trattore ben fatto. Mi piace la funzionalità del gioco: stimolare la manualità dei bambini (avvitando e svitando le viti con il cacciavite) e stimolare il gioco simbolico.A tal proposito trovo geniale l’uso della confezione che rimontata come da istruzioni (anche se molto intuitivo) diventa un playset, con pezzi di cartone che si possono staccare e posizionare ovunque.Montare e smontare richiede pazienza e precisione nei movimenti ma è comunque facile e divertente da costruire.Due difetti a mio parere: una volta montato non entra nella scatola e il prezzo! Penso che esso (24,68€ ) sia leggermente al di sopra della media.Nel complesso lo reputo ideale per bambini dai 3 anni in su, lo consiglio!

Fun and learning in one
During a typically peaceful Saturday morning, a package arrived that would become the highlight of my nephew's week. An eyebrow-raising price tag hung over it, but my decision to splurge on his fascination for building things was the driving force behind the purchase.Inside the package was a colourful and sturdy bulldozer toy, complete with a playful array of components – bolts, a screwdriver, a construction worker, an animal companion, and safety cones. Even the packaging added to the excitement, an inside-out box became a playful backdrop for his new construction site.The sight of the toy bulldozer brought my nephew's face to life. Intrigue radiated from his eyes as he picked up the screwdriver and began piecing together his new toy. As an observer, it was apparent this was more than a plaything. It was a tool for his development.There was a charm in how he manipulated the screwdriver, a testament to his growing fine motor skills and hand strength. He laughed and engaged with the toy on multiple levels, manoeuvring the moveable bucket scoop, using the Bolt Buddy to twist bolts. It was education interwoven with pure, unadulterated fun.Despite the numerous play sessions, the toy remained intact – proof of its solid construction. The price is certainly a talking point and for some, it might be a stretch. Yet witnessing the priceless joy in my nephew's eyes, paired with the stealthy educational benefits, it seems to earn its keep.

Ruspa da montare e smontare per bambini dai 3 anni.
Il gioco si presenta smontato in una scatola, è presente una ruspa con cassone, il cacciavite le varie viti, un operaio, un animaletto e due coni.La scatola si può smontare e diventa una simpatico cantiere, ci sono parti in cartone che si possono staccare e posizionare come massi e cartelli stradali.Gioco molto carino per far avvicinare i bimbi alle costruzioni e aiutarli a migliorare la cratività e le abilità manuali.I miei figli ci passano ore a montarlo e smontarlo è appropriato per bambini dai 3 anni.Il gioco sembra resistente e di buona qualità, lo consiglio come primo approccio alle costruzioni!
