The Excavator is a magnet for construction play. It attracts builders in a wide age span to dig, transport and turn sand. It will engage children in play time and time again. When digging, the children need to navigate the handles and shovel. This is a huge task on coordination as well as logical thinking skills. When the sand needs to be relocated, the children will have to use their feet to turn the Excavator up to 360 degrees, to the desired destination. The fine motor and gross motor skill training going into this is considerable. The Excavator can accommodate solitary as well as social play, supporting turn-taking and negotiation. These skills are fundamental to forming friendships and can be hard to teach, but children acquire these skills naturally through construction play.
