    Fagus Handmade Wooden Excavator Toy

    The Fagus Excavator is a large eco-friendly wooden toy digger with a natural finish and rubber tracks.

    Hand crafted in Germany, this excavator toy is made from sustainably sourced beech wood and features a fully adjustable scoop. With 2 peg doll figures included you can really explore imaginative play and story telling. It works great on its own and can easily be paired up with other Fagus wooden vehicles for more detailed stories.

    Each of the hinges and moving axles have been manufactured using a dowelling technique which means no nails or screws are required. Each segment has been designed to be easily adjusted by little hands. Like all Fagus products, it has been coated in a non-toxic wood varnish which protects the materials and allows the natural beauty of the wood grains to show through. This finish is also perfectly safe for children's skin and mouths so they can explore their senses freely through play.

    The high quality construction ensures this toy will last for generations and can be used again and again. With all of its intricate details, this digger is even a great display piece when not I use. Its a truly great gift for a loved one!

Toddler takes it to bed

The only small issue that I'd flag for buyers with younger children is that the rubber caterpillar tracks do sometimes slip out of the groove in the wheels, and my son often needs adult assistance to slip them back into place - so for much younger than 3 the 'simpler' Fagus trucks etc might be more appropriate.

Gorgeous

It’s pricey but the quality is incredible. It’s sturdy, chunky and really cleverly made.

Beautifully made and so many uses!

This toy is absolutely beautiful, so sturdy but without any screws or nails (a plus because my son has a real talent for taking things apart!) I was also really pleased to see that Fagus have a social workplace initiative giving meaningful work to adults with learning disabilities/those needing additional support and valuing their talents and contributions to the toy making process - a brilliant initiative and a great thing to share with my son as he grows. We use it with the bajo tractor for scooping and dumping in our tuff tray, brilliant with rice cereal or similar. My 3 year old loves playing with the mechanism but it’s sturdy enough for the less refined hands of my 11 month old as well who likes to explore it. A huge, beautiful, well made toy which really works and will engage your own budding builder!

Very sturdy and made my digger mad boy very happy!

This excavator is very well made and all it's movable parts are very impressive. My 2yo and 4yo struggled in the beginning with working the technical parts but with some patience, they can do it. It is a very sturdy toy and is able to withstand some bashing around. We walk pass a construction site everyday on our school run and to have his own excavator to play with is a dream!

Heirloom toy

We have bought this as a Christmas present for our ‘Will be nearly 3’ year old. It’s a heavy, solid, obviously beautifully made toy and will easily stand up to the day to day playing from a toddler.
The digger actually scoops. The 36 year old found it a little tricky to begin with but was soon scooping up ‘grapat rubble’
The only criticism would be that it doesn’t work as a stand alone toy, ideally it needs a truck or something else to load the grapat into
Nins do not fit into the cabin however the little figures from the plan toys bath boats/submarines/pirate ship fit very well. After all why shouldn’t a pirate have a day job?!
