Editor's Pick: Kids have a natural love for construction vehicles. Though this excavator loader has only 104 pieces, the bucket can be raised and lowered with a knob, and the rear digging arm and support legs are fully movable. Kids around age 7 can build it by following the instructions on their own, learning about simple mechanical structures while they play. It makes a great birthday gift or small everyday reward, and once built, they can use it to simulate digging and loading on a construction site.
