Kids can push a button for realistic engine sounds, headlights and taillights, while the extra-large dump bed gives them plenty of room to haul dirt, sand, rocks, blocks and other toys.

With lights, sounds and motorized action, it’s an interactive option for keeping playtime going after the school day ends.
