Build-A-Truck

Build-A-Truck is a building toy for children too young to read. A bare chassis rolls onto the assembly line and stops at every station along the way. Pick a body — digger, monster truck, sedan, trail rig. Wheels or tracks. Off-road tires or racing slicks. Headlights, windows, tinted glass, a grille. At each stop the part appears on the truck straight away, so your child sees what he chose before he commits to it, and tapping a different one simply swaps it out. Nothing moves down the line until he taps the big green check. Then the truck rolls into the paint booth. The whole screen becomes a colour wheel, and once a colour is loaded he paints the truck by dragging a finger across it — the paint appears under his fingertip as he goes. He can change colours as often as he likes without losing what he has already sprayed, so a truck can come out red with blue stripes and stay that way.…
