Sorting Bus from Plan Toys

SKU: PL51210   AGE: 1 1/2 Year+

This lovely wooden toy by Plan Toys is both shape sorter and pull toy. Toddlers will enjoy learning how to fit the right block into the correctly shaped hole through a process of trial and error, and then pulling their triumph all around the house on a handy cord. The bus comes with a little driver who is also removable. When all the blocks are in the bus they can be emptied back out with a handy pull lever that dumps all the blocks out the back.

Made of earth-friendly and replenishable rubber wood by our friends at Plan Toys. Plan Toys is a Thailand based company that has been making quality baby and children's toys from their ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 & SA 8000 Certified offices in Thailand since 1981. We appreciate Plan Toys' commitment to a quality products, a safe and fair work environment and eco-friendly materials and practices.

Love it!

The Sorting Bus is fantastic. It keeps my son busy for hours still (we've had it since he was 1 year old). At times the pieces get lost around the house.

Cute but design flaw


[70 OF 137 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
My son loves pulling this and putting the shapes in. But the handle that you pull to dump the shapes is a block on a string - when pulled, the block hangs and gets caught inside one of the shape cutouts so it's nearly always in the "dump" position.

Very Nice Toy!


[90 OF 179 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
I bought this for my son when he was about 11 months old. He immediately loved the dumping function. Now that he is walking, he loves to pull the bus around and take the driver in and out of the seat. This toy takes a lot of abuse and still looks new!

Still a hit


[96 OF 186 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
This is a toy that children will love for years. I purchased it for my son when he was 18 months and he loves it even more as he gets older. He loves to pull it around the house (see photo). It did recently start making a squeaking noise but no big deal

Great multidimentional toy


[95 OF 188 PEOPLE FOUND THIS HELPFUL]
I bought this for my daughter when she turned 1, and 5 months later, this toy is still a hit. When she first got it, she enjoyed pushing the bus around and holding the bus and bus driver. As she gets older she has fun pulling it around and using the shape sorter. She still hasn't completely mastered the shape sorter, so I hope this toy will entertain for a while to come.
