Hard-working Dexter the Digger is made for hours of interactive fun. This primary-colored excavator has a locking mechanical arm that scoops up the three included plastic boulders with its push-and-pull lever. Then Dexter spins around and, thanks to the sturdy friction motor with realistic engine sounds, drives off to lower and deposit them safely. The removable driver figure can get down from his seat and "help" your child with the work. There's even a secret WOW button to press that opens Dexter's engine compartment to reveal his inner workings.
Digger with mechanical arm is easy for small hands.

Working Digger Scoops and Moves Boulders
Use the push-and-pull lever to make Dexter the Digger's moving mechanical arm reach down to scoop up the three included boulders. You can lock the arm in place once your child has picked up his or her load. Dexter's friction-powered engine makes realistic sounds as it zooms away to deposit the boulders elsewhere. Push the WOW button to open Dexter's engine compartment and get a glimpse of this digger's engine.
Bright Colors and Engine Sounds Entertain Toddlers
As your child grows, he or she will discover new ways to play with Dexter the Digger. At first your toddler will be delighted with the bright colors, lively engine sounds, and the way the driver and boulders can be manipulated. Specially designed large, easy-to-grasp controls ensure success and a feeling of accomplishment.
Realistic Toys Promote Role-Play and Other Skills
As hand-eye coordination and fine motor control develop, the challenge of scooping the boulders into the shovel, swiveling the mechanical arm, and driving Dexter to the place where he can lower and unload his delivery will encourage hours of focused play. The engine and wheels are built to take weight, so your child can get the friction motor going to make Dexter zip around the room. As your preschooler learns to play cooperatively and imagine stories, Dexter and its driver will become entertaining characters to be given new jobs to do by their young "boss."
