If you've ever been handed a pebble, a leaf and a toy car and told they're being delivered to a very important customer, you'll know children have a remarkable talent for turning everyday objects into cargo, and this wonderful crane set takes that instinct and runs with it, transforming the playroom into a busy little port where containers need loading and trucks need dispatching. The satisfying clunk of the magnetic crane, the careful slide along the rail and the triumphant lift onto the truck make for the sort of play that keeps children happily absorbed while they organise their miniature world.

We love it because:

  • The working magnetic crane lets children lift, move and load containers just like a real cargo terminal.
  • Sliding the carriage along the rail and lowering the magnet helps develop coordination and concentration.
  • Encourages imaginative play, storytelling and problem-solving as children create their own busy port.
  • The magnetic containers are wonderfully satisfying to pick up and move around.
  • Made from sturdy wood, ready for years of shipping, unloading and emergency cargo deliveries.
  • A brilliant toy for children who are fascinated by vehicles, construction sites and anything with moving parts.

What's in the box:

  • 1 semi-truck

A little shopkeeper's confession: grown-ups often end up having a turn with the crane "just to show them how it works." Ten minutes later, you're still loading containers. It really is surprisingly satisfying.
