orx Toys’ Edutech line of educational toy vehicles teaches kids ages 3 and up how things work. When the coded buttons are pressed, the translucent plastic vehicles come to life with real motorized lights and sounds. New to the line are the Bulldozer and the Mighty TRex. With lights, sounds, and moveable parts, the Bulldozer will show kids how this machine works to help clear land and build everything from houses to the tallest skyscrapers. The Mighty T-Rex marks the line’s first non-vehicle-based SKU and will teach kids what makes dinosaurs eat, breathe, and dominate their territory. Worx Toys has partnered with Haynes Manuals, which has produced do-it-yourself books for mechanics for more than 50 years. Haynes Manuals has expanded its offering to kids, and all Edutech toys will be accompanied by a Haynes Manual.
