Interesting Cars - Where To Buy?

[Guest]

We would like to replace some of our tired old collection of cars for small world play at our preschool with some interesting new ones. We are looking for a variety of emergency vehicles (police cars, fire engine, ambulance), construction vehicles (diggers, JCBs cranes etc) and ordinary cars of various sorts - delivery vans, people movers, post vans, sports cars, saloons, estates. Probably about 20 - 30 cars in all.

 

We prefer realistic die cast metal cars to plastic ones.

 

Has any out there recently bought anything like that? Where is a good place to look? We've looked in our educational catalogues and they have very boring selections of cars.

Hey Carolyn C

 

Have you tried ebay?

Woolworths

We looked in Woolworths but they only had a large box of plain ordinary cars. I am looking for VARIETY. Just had a quick look at ebay, not quite what I'm looking for there - but worth keeping an eye open. Thanks for that.

I'd still be interested to hear from anyone who has fairly recently bought something similar.

We have recently bought some vehicles from early learning. They are wooden and metal and the children love them.If you register as a child care setting you get ten percent off all purchases.

You need a good toy shop.

"Britains" usually have a range of specialised vehicles, if you can find a stockist.
