Silicone Vehicles

Regular price R 179.00 ZAR

Type

Soft, squeezable, and built to survive a genuinely enthusiastic toddler, our Silicone Vehicles bring a chunky little fleet of cars, trucks, and buses to the bath, the sandpit, or the living room floor. Made from durable, food-grade silicone, they're gentle in little hands, easy to rinse clean, and virtually unbreakable, no cracking, no splitting, no worrying about a stray tooth mark.

Because they're soft rather than rigid, these vehicles suit a wide range of play: pushed along the bath edge, buried and dug up in the sandpit, lined up for a pretend traffic jam, or simply gripped and gnawed by a teething baby exploring a new texture. Their bright colours and simple, recognisable shapes make them easy for toddlers to name, sort, and act out real-world stories with,  a delivery truck making its rounds, a bus picking up passengers, a car racing to the finish line.

What the OT Says:

I recommend soft silicone toys like these often for younger children, because the material itself does real sensory work. Squeezing, mouthing, and manipulating the soft vehicles gives babies and toddlers safe, varied tactile input, which supports early sensory processing and helps build tolerance for different textures over time.

Pushing a vehicle along a surface,  the bath, the floor, a sandpit,  also encourages an early palmar or gross grasp, along with simple hand-eye coordination as a child tracks the vehicle's movement and adjusts their push. As children grow, these same pieces support imaginative and narrative play, acting out simple real-world scenes that build early language and sequencing skills, such as "the truck delivers the parcel" or "the bus stops for passengers."

Because the pieces are soft and forgiving, they're also a lovely low-stakes option for children who are still building confidence with grasp and release, without the frustration that harder, more rigid toys can sometimes cause.

I recommend this set for bath time, sandpit play, and general toddler exploration at home, and it's a useful, low-fuss option for early sensory and imaginative play in therapy sessions too.
