Why we love it

This Crane Set is great for a 4 year old because it is a high-quality toy that works like a real crane. Your child will love picking up items with it and pretending he/she is running his/her very own construction site.

Product Features

This Crane Set is a great educational way to ladder up from your regular building blocks. In fact, your child can combine this crane with blocks to help construct a town. Using tools to build, instead of just building by using his/her hands is a good way to practice a child's newly developed fine motor skills. In school your child will be using other tools, like scissors, pencils and tape.
In the town your little one has created, he/she can pretend that the roads or buildings are broken and the construction workers need to fix them. This type of role playing helps your child to define their core sense of self. He/she will try out different jobs and lifestyles until he/she finds out what interests him/her.
Have your preschooler tell a story about "A busy day at the construction site" to work on his/her narrative skills. Encourage him/her to use adjectives to describe what the scene looks like, sounds like or even smells like. This use of adjectives will make his/her story fuller and make his/her language ability blossom, instead of just telling a story about what happened.
