Since 1947, when the very first TONKA vehicles came out, these sturdy and dependable toys have been family favourites. With these bulldozers, dumpsters, cranes and trucks in hand, kids have pretended to drive, dig, lift, even construct entire cities. Now, this colourful fleet is about to inspire young artists. The appeal of Hasbro's perennially popular toy combines with the bestselling "Pencil, Paper, Draw! Series" to entice children to create wonderful pictures. By just following the lines, young TONKA fans can capture a big rig, mighty cement mixer, back hoe and other equipment, along with workers and signs. The result: an entire construction scene!
