This Take Apart Farm Truck was created by Maribus-FL and can be purchased from Amazon. This particular set comes with the take apart tractor truck, screwdriver, take apart tree, duplo style farmer, 2 farm animals, connecting fences, wheelbarrow, and milk jugs. Due to the small parts in this activity, it is recommended for our older toddlers (3+ years old) but can be used by our younger toddlers under close supervision.

Activity Instructions By Age: click on age range below for more details
1-2 year olds:
Imaginary/pretend play with the farm animals, farmer, and completed truck (make sure all screws are securely fastened)
2-3 year olds:
In additional to imaginary/pretend play, we can start working on taking apart and putting together the tractor truck using the screwdriver. Our 2-3 year olds will require some assistance, especially in the beginning. We can help with hand over hand assist and by holding the truck steady as they screw on the different parts of the truck.
3+ year olds:
Many of our oldest toddlers now have the skills to fully take apart and put the truck back together. They may need some assistance (hands on and verbal) their first couple of tries but they should pick it up quickly!
