Dump Truckers

This toy consists of a two tier dump truck station on a masonite base, and came with three trucks, three drivers, and one or more wooden or plastic balls to dump. You can drive the dump trucks up the ramp and have them drop the ball into one of the three receptacles. Then the truck of corresponding shape and color as the receptacle backs into the space under that receptacle. When it does, the receptacle tips over, dropping the ball into that truck. There's also a rear parking area, lithoed as a garage, as shown in the picutre on the right, and a gas pump under the ramp.

I really like the fact that this toy combines great fun and great learning. The red, yellow, and blue trucks only fit into the corresponding color and shape receptacle, square, triangle, or oval. The kids are learning shapes and colors without realizing it! The other great part about this set, a great feature of many FP sets, is the great amount of detailed lithos, as I think is clear from the picture of the lithoed garage. One other thing: the people that came with my set are colored a shade of light blue that I have not seen in any other little person. I think it's pretty safe to assume that if you find an older straight bodied style little person, and they are light blue, they go with the Dump Truckers set.
