Does your little one have a fascination with cars, trucks, and all things that go? If so, then they will love the My Plush Hess Truck 2021 Cement Mixer. Ready for play as soon as it comes out of the box, with batteries included (always a parent favorite). Those same parents noted that for a plush toy with a battery pack inside, it is well designed as the firmness of the battery pack is tucked away neatly towards the bottom. This allows the toy to remain soft and cuddly even though it has interactive features that are battery-powered. Speaking of those features, let’s review them. First off is the always reliable child favorite, flashing lights and a night light option. Next up is the sound mode. The cement truck plays two classic songs. What? Don’t all cement trucks? The song selections are excellent and include “The Alphabet Song” for little ones learning and excited about reciting their ABCs and “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” for little bodies that need to get up and move. The music encourages both learning and movement, and the song choices really are perfect for young minds and bodies. The toy has a silent mode, so parents don’t have to fear putting their kids to bed with it, worrying that while cuddling their cement truck, they might accidentally trigger the music and wake children in the middle of the night. The size and weight of the toy make it ideal as a travel companion as well. Due to the design of the cement truck, small hands can easily grab hold of the toy, and thanks to its lightweight, they will have no trouble dragging this toy along on their adventures.
