Melissa & Doug Pull-Back Town Vehicles

These soft, lightweight vehicles mimic one of the best of a young child's everyday world: a school bus, family car, fire truck, and police car. The rev up mechanism inside each makes it easy for babies and toddlers to get big acceleration with little input: They just pull them back and release to see them zoom off across the floor. Featuring bright colors, these vehicles nurture early vision, focus, and color awareness.

The action of grasping and pulling back is great for fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination; the activity of driving and collecting the vehicles benefits large muscle groups and coordination, too. Young children get even more miles per gallon with a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, and the illustrated characters and everyday themes inspire conversations, cognitive connections, and imaginative play.
