Toy school buses are commonly made from plastic, die‑cast metal, and wood, with listings frequently specifying “Material: Plastic,” some showing “Material: Metal,” and others listing “Material: Wood.”

Durable models highlight rugged construction such as die‑cast metal or reinforced steel/plastic, oversized tires for rough terrain, and designs marketed for indoor‑outdoor play and long‑lasting use.
