It is hard to believe that Christmas will soon be there, but there are less than two months until the big day, so it's time to hit the stores! One of my all-time favorite toys will soon be hitting the shelves - the Hess Truck! Every Christmas season, Hess puts out a limited edition toy, and let me tell you, they are awesome! We have collected quite a few over the years. Since my oldest son was born, we have purchased one every year. We have also hit Ebay to buy some from years past. Heck, I even remember having a few when I grew up.
The Hess trucks are great. They are hard to break, which is one of the best things to look for in a toy. Even if the little pieces come off, they generally snap right back in. I would not hesitate to say that they have held up better than any other toy we have purchased. On a few trucks some of the paint came off when we took them to a beach house and exposed them to water, but in the grand scheme of things, what harm is a little missing paint?
Other than being such a hardy toy, they are really creative. We have fire engines with sirens and lights, and movable ladders. The space ship with the probe that actually lifted up when the button was hit was a personal favorite. Dump trucks with moveable beds, and helicopters with moving blades, what kid wouldn't love them?! They all light up and make noise in some way, but are just as much fun when the batteriest are out.
If you are looking for a great new toy, check out the Hess stations this season! You certainly won't be disappointed.
