Editor's Pick: Kids are naturally fascinated by construction vehicles. This excavator and loader set has only 104 pieces, but the scoop can be raised and lowered with a knob, and the backhoe arm and support legs are also movable. It's perfect for kids around age 7 to follow the instructions and build it themselves, learning basic mechanical structures while playing. It makes a great birthday gift or small reward, and after assembly, they can pretend to dig and load at a construction site.
