This is a beautifully made truck by NIC. It can be played with very simplistically by an 18 month old, yet open-ended for older children to build in many different ways. Toddlers like putting the pegs in the blocks and playing with the truck cab by itself. As they get older, they experiment with stacking and re-stacking the pieces to form new creations. Ages 1 1/2+. Maple. Germany
