Handmade Wood Toy Monster Truck Based On The Play Pal Pickup Design - 496688424
I have made a lot of these toy monster trucks. After watching my
grandson try to push a toy car with small wheels across the carpet, I
originally got the idea. I had made larger ones for him that he played
with, but his hands were too small to handle them well. I looked at the
size wheels I had and picked out some that would work. The standard
3/4-inch think pickup body would not do, so I doubled the thickness to
1-1/2-inch. It worked great, and my grandson loved the truck. I have
since made a lot of Play Pal monster trucks. Not everyone likes them,
but the kids do, and I have had people purchase as many as four in
different widths and colors.

This wooden toy monster truck was handmade by me in my Toymakers Shop using traditional woodworking tools. I hand-finished the truck with amber shellac and acrylic paint. The toy is sturdy, durable, and built to withstand play.
My grandson has several of these in various colors, finishes, and materials. It is grandson tested and approved.
By pressing down with your finger over the rear axle and slowly applying pressure until the monster truck pops out from under your finger, the truck can do backflips. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of it, but my grandson has been able to make them flip since he was three years old.
Other sizes and colors may be available via custom orders or in other listings in my shop.
I make items by hand from natural wood and wood products. They can differ from one piece to the next. The one you receive may be slightly different from the item in the listing photos. Wood thickness may vary slightly from the stated size.
Not for children under three years old or kids that are still chewing things. If the toy breaks, small parts may present a choking hazard. Small children should not play with this toy without adult supervision.
Custom orders are always welcome in my shop. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me with your needs.
