I recently found out that the age old adage of girls like dolls and boys like trucks is just plain wrong. I had an opportunity to receive a Disney Cars 2 Ridemakerz Truck, and I didn’t have any boys to build it with, so I built it with a group of girls ages 6-16! We had a blast putting this toy together, and even more fun playing with it after we were done.
The product I received was the Disney Pixar Cars 2 Hot Rod Mater Custom Kit. It came with all the pieces needed to quickly assemble the toy. Now, I’m sorry, but I forgot to take a picture of the toy before the kids got to it. They were so excited about getting to put the toy together that I had a hard time containing them. The good news is that I have a lot of pictures of them putting it together, and of the finished toy.
The company states that the toy is geared for ages 4 & up. Well, I’m 46 and my daughter is 16, we both love anything that is Disney/Pixar related, so we definitely show that older people can enjoy this toy. A friend of the family has daughters ages 6, 9, and 10 and they participated in the assembly of the toy, they also had a really good time putting it together, so the company is right, it’s appropriate for ages 4 & up. Dis-assembled it has some small parts that a younger child might try and put up their nose or swallow, so the youngest I would recommend would also be 4.
You can purchase parts or pre-packaged Ridemakerz at Toys-R-Us, or you can make things even more fun by customizing your car/truck at the company’s website. You can choose the body type, and there are at least 30 different body types to choose from. After picking your body style you get to pick the Chassiz style, Treadz style, Wheelz, Soundz & Accessories. By being able to pick each aspect of your toy you are truly making it your own and possibly even one of a kind!
So, if you’re looking for a gift for either a boy or a girl, this is one that can be made really special to your individual child.
