“Just like I did, my boys spent their childhoods on our family farm. Harvesters, tractors and utes were part of everyday life and held endless fascination for them. So much so that my eldest son’s first word wasn’t Mum or Dad, but tractor! They loved toy versions of the machines and I wish I had discovered Bruder then. Incidentally my eldest’s fascination with vehicles hasn’t waned – he’s made a career out of cars!” 

-Shelley, owner of Love to Learn Toys

Whether they grow up in country or city, there’s nothing quite like the magic of machines to captivate little ones. Construction sites, roadworks, farms and fire stations provide hours of entertainment as tractors, cranes and bulldozers go about their business. And with Bruder, that real world wonder comes to their toy box.

Far from your typical plastic playthings, Bruder vehicles combine exceptional attention to detail and precision German design to deliver toys that are ‘just like the real thing’. Each piece has been carefully modelled on the real vehicle with moving parts, opening doors and designs that function like the larger versions. With a wide range of trucks, tractors, construction vehicles and even a fire engine, everyday sights and sounds become the inspiration for playtime learning and cognitive development.

Here’s why we love Bruder:

• Built to last, Bruder toys are made from ABS high-quality plastic (as used in car parts and Lego)
• Colours stay vibrant and don’t fade in the sun
• Wonderful for indoor and outdoor play – perfect for the sandpit (when summer arrives, of course)
• Realistic steering when you turn the wheel – tractors even have an optional external steering wheel for little hands to easily guide them in the right direction
• Silicon tyres are hard wearing and ideal for imaginations that head off the beaten track!

Claas Tractor Trailer with Front End Loader Unit 

While the real thing is designed for vineyards and orchards, this version is right at home in the lounge, garden or out on the deck. Load up the trailer, connect it to the tractor and you’re ready to transport the cargo! (gravel, marbles, lego or even snails!) 

CAT ‘Bobcat’ Skid Loader

Small but mighty, these ‘bobcat’ mini excavators move mountains (literally!). A building site and roadwork essential, little ones will love scooping with the bucket of this miniature replica and creating new terrains of their own… let the excavation begin! 

John Deere Gator

On the farm, at the construction site or even in the forest – the John Deere Gator makes a trustworthy companion. The loading platform tips backward
and has a realistic opening tail gate – just some of the features that make this mini version so much fun. 

Transport Sprint Vehicle

Modelled on the sleek Mercedes Benz car transporter, this version has it’s very own cable winch, tool boxes and drive on ramps, making it ready to come to the rescue at a moment’s notice! 

While Bruder is designed for ages 4+, some of the simpler vehicles are great for younger ones too. If you’re not sure what’s right for your child, simply ask us and we’ll be more than happy to recommend!

So, what kind of vehicles capture your children’s imaginations? We’d love to know!

Until next time…
