Toy Excavator FAQ
Toy excavators can be used as early as toddler age. This promotes the child’s motor skills, for example. However, this does not include very small excavators that can be swallowed. However, a real game develops only at the age of 2 to 3 years.
Here, of course, it depends on whether it should be a small excavator or a large one to sit on. Small excavators can be purchased for as little as €5, while the price of large excavators can go up to €50. In addition, the brand and the material plays a role.
It depends on whether it should be one to sit on or a smaller excavator. For toddlers, a not too small and simple excavator is recommended to avoid the risk of suffocation and because the motor skills are still developing. For outdoor use, a large excavator to sit on is certainly advantageous. For indoor use, a smaller one for pushing or even with drive is more suitable.
