Wooden Toy Vehicles for Children

Children have played with wooden toy cars, trucks and trains for centuries. They encourage imaginative play with familiar objects and can be enjoyed individually or socially. Our range, made from quality sustainable wood, can support little ones from as young as 10 months old with Hape’s Little Plane, Little Copter or Mini Red Van. Little hands can grasp and push along these wheeled toys with ease.

Push along vehicles build hand muscles as well as boosting spatial skills and introduce directional language with words like around, under, left and right. Several favourites from our Lanka Kade collection include a Police Car, a Tractor and a Black Taxi. These wooden vehicles can be included within lots of small world play for themes such as cops & robbers, farmland or London Cityscape.

As children get older, around the age of 3, there are more complex toys to explore. Garages have multiple levels and features, like lifts and ramps so look towards the Modern Garage not only is it a place to park cars, but also helicopters.

Toy Transport Accessories

During small world play which involves wooden toy vehicles it’s really easy to extend play by adding on some amazing props. You can start with roads for the vehicles to drive along like the Shape Drive Around Boards & Connectors which are suitable from 10+ months. As little ones are older and for those who enjoy a puzzle move towards the Giant Road Jigsaw Puzzle where lots of different road layouts can be designed before adding your wooden cars and other toy transport.

Once the foundations are set, imaginations can soar further and amazing stories can be told with the Lanka Kade Wooden Town Playset.

Why do children love toy cars?

One of the most obvious answers is that they are mini versions of something that is familiar to them. And there are many developmental benefits associated with playing with toy vehicles too, from cognitive development, fine and gross motor skills to speech and language as vocabulary is learnt for parts of the vehicles. They can also provide a sense of understanding for the different modes of transport and how people travel.
