Model vehicles, diecast & car toys

Metal model & toy cars for small and big car fanatics

Car toys were and still are among the most popular toys. The more realistic the model vehicle looks and the more functional it is, the more enthusiastic many children are about it. Especially for children who are interested in motorised vehicles anyway, metal toy cars are a clear must-have. But of course, the vehicles do not only attract the attention of children. Adult collectors also have a lot of fun with them.

What added value do toy cars have for child development?

When playing with metal model cars, the focus is of course on having fun. But it also teaches valuable skills and competences, which we will now discuss in more detail:

Promoting creativity

Playing with car toys offers children plenty of opportunities to use their imagination. For example, when they design routes and think up scenarios, creativity is in demand and is encouraged playfully.

Promoting fine motor skills

Handling the toy cars made of metal also appeals to the fine motor skills. Moving, manoeuvring and operating the vehicles requires a certain fine motor skill, so that the important motor skills are effectively trained. With the model cars from Majorette, the fine motor skills are also addressed through a variety of extra functions, such as doors, tailgates, and bonnets that can be opened and closed.

Promoting orientation

When moving the toy vehicles, the sense of orientation is also trained. If a child wants to move its beloved toy car from A to B, it has to orientate itself precisely in space – a wonderful exercise with a high fun factor.

Getting to know the rules of the road

Playing with metal toy cars is also an excellent opportunity to familiarise the child with the basic rules of the road. The understanding of the rules that apply in road traffic can playfully be developed.

What should be considered when buying toy cars & model cars?

There are a few criteria that you should keep in mind when buying a toy car that ideally suits your ideas:

Models

The world of model cars is huge, so you will be confronted with a gigantic choice when buying. Take your time to look at different products and make comparisons. Also consider that not all model cars are originally licensed. In other words, if you want a realistic replica of a vehicle, you should look specifically for metal toy cars with an original licence. Majorette has a large variety of these – perfect for car fans who value realism.

Characteristics

Inform yourself in detail about the characteristics of your favourite toy car. We would like to briefly mention some of the most important points in this context:

• Size and weight
•  Colour and design
• Body and tyre material
• Freewheel
• Sound and light effects
• Moving parts (e.g. boot or doors that can be opened)

When it comes to the features of the model vehicles, Majorette toy cars definitely stand out from the crowd. For example, the originally licensed model cars are equipped with movable tailgates and doors, tyre suspensions and functioning front headlights – small cars with numerous big highlights!

Age recommendation

Especially if metal toy cars are intended for children's hands, you should always check the manufacturer's age recommendation. This ensures that the respective model can be used safely by your child. However, since the age recommendation is only a rough guideline, you should also accurately assess your child's developmental level yourself.
