Learning Resources Bolt Buddies Fire Truck, Take Apart Toy with Drill, Preschool STEM Gift, Ages 3+

This product was perfect for my little one, he enjoys constructing and de-constructing and this was perfect for him to play with. The appearance of the drill was good and made it look realistic to him. Definitely worth getting if your child enjoys putting things together and taking them apart.

Bought for 3 yr old grandson and it’s currently his favourite toy. He loves being able to use the drill and bolts as he feels like his daddy and it’s keeping him occupied for a long time. Would definitely recommend

I bought this toy for my nephew and it was a perfect toy for his age. It's fun and at the same time they develop motor skills so important at this age.

Powering the imaginations and hearts of our little engineers and fire fighters is this fire truck toy that teaches children the very basics of mechanics in a fun and encouraging way.Once the truck is fixed it rolls into action and saves the day...The back door to the truck could use some re-imagining as it comes off too easily (weak design) but, that slight to one side, it is actually built fairly sturdy.Love the drill and love the thought that went into this product on a whole.

My son loves it

I rarely give 5 stars for an item in my reviews, only if I’m 100& happy with the item, but this toy deserved it.I love the fact that it’s not just a toy, it also helps learning how to build things, how to use tools such like a drill, and the fact that it’s eco-friendly it’s an added bonus. Not just a cool idea to print on the inner side of the box and use it as part of the play, but also make a huge different on our environment if we don’t just throw away the packaging. The box contained the fire truck, a drill, with two drill bits, a bag of large sized colourful bolts, 2 characters with two different skin tone (great to see this), a dog, four fires flames, and four water blasts/splash. All the parts are ready to play with straight away apart from the drill which requires 3 x AAA type batteries, which is not included in the box.The box is made from thick cardboard with the printed city scene on it (blocks of flats), I’m not sure how long it will last, but like I’ve said it’s a great idea and other brands should do this as well. The fire engine truck, the drill, the bolds and all the characters are made from plastic, in very bright and vivid colours. The drill works great with the added batteries, it has a good size and fits well in my nephew’s hands (4-year-old). My personal favourite part of this toy are the figures. I like that the face can be changed with different feeling expression (face with smile, or a surprised face). This toy reminds me to the Lego’s Duplo series, it’s kind of the same concept, the kids must put the toy together if they want to play with it which helps to develop the fine motor skills and the technical skills. I see on my nephew that he is enjoying playing with this toy more than with other toys so we will definitely look for other product from Learning Resources’s Design and drill range.Highly recommend it. I can’t say any bad about it, finally a toy which is not just for playing, but also has a great educational effect as well. The time I’m writing this the price of this toy is just under £36, not the cheapest, kind of the same price range as a Lego, but totally worth the price. I would love to see something similar made from wood instead of plastic as well.

I ordered this for my grandchildren, this is the review from their mother:'This is such a wonderful toy, my 3yr old and even my 6yr old have spent many hours playing with it over the past 3 days.One annoyance was that it required 3xAAA batteries before the drill could be used, i should have read the small print before opening the box!!Everything was so neatly tucked in to the fire engine that we didn’t discover the wheels until after he started playing with it.This toy consist of a fire truck, battery operated drill, 2x drill bits, a bag of chunky colourful screws/bolts, 2 characters, 1 dog, 4 standup fires, 4 water blasts and a tray with extra holes for extra drilling. The drill fits the chunky plastic screws which go in to the pre-positioned holes.The box unfolds to reveal apartments and houses which have fire in the windows. Its very sturdy and looks great but my boys haven't been too fussed by this part of it.The drill has a button at the back which makes it go forwards and backwards, I was surprised how quickly my 3yr old picked up on this. It sometimes drills the screws in too tightly which means it won’t undo with the drill straight away and so needs loosening by hand a little bit first.There has been so much imagination and sharing going on, I have been ever so pleased with the games this toy has created. This toy helps with hand-eye co-ordination, language and communication skills, imagination, creativity and concentration.Its a definite 5 stars from us!'

This toy is really interesting. My son liked it. But the drill wasn’t working. It was my son’s birthday gift. And he disappointed because he can’t play with toy
