Hess Truck
For the parents of the vehicle-obsessed, there is no better holiday tradition than the annual Hess Truck. They are well-made and always unique!
Not Collector’s Items
It’s not likely to surprise you that I am no fan of collecting toys and keeping them in the box. Our boys adored their Hess Trucks. They were used often! We kept them inside for a while, but my boys felt trucks should be outside toys and I eventually agreed. Our Hess trucks navigated our sandbox, mud puddles and any other terrain our backyard could offer. I think they even took a few rides down our swing set slide.
When the boys were finally done with their Hess Trucks, we cleaned them up and donated them to bring joy to the next family.
Note: I am not a paid partner of Hess Trucks, just a mom sharing a fun family tradition…I will disclose any paid partnerships, always.
