Guidecraft Block Science Big Cement Truck

Building upon the multi-faceted early childhood development benefits of unit block play, this solid beech wood truck is designed to overlay a lesson on how a simple machine works. This large cement truck carries a cement mixer which is connected to the wheels of the truck by five different gears. When the truck is moved, the cement mixer turns, teaching children to recognize and investigate the mechanics of using gears.
