Did you know that playing with toy cars, trucks and vans can promote children’s physical and cognitive development? Well, they do! The benefits of toy cars are in high numbers, they can help with dexterity, improve hand-eye coordination and in a pinch, they make great head massagers!

They improve general motor skills as rolling the cars along the floor teaches a child their own strength as they see how to adjust the pressure when pushing the cars along, this behaviour can then be transferred into how hard to push a door open or stroke a dog. Vocabulary is widened as the kids learn different parts of the car and before you know it you might have a potential future race car driver on your hands!

So which toy cars should your child be playing with? Well, look no further, because Playmobil has everything you need. Here are our Top 5 Playmobil Vehicles to get your child developing skills and having fun all at the same time!
