To create the big robot, you must use parts from the car as well as the mini-robot that also comes included in the set. It’s suitable for ages 3 and upwards, due to some small parts.

This interactive toy car allows children to put a spin on the popular character Lightning McQueen. The set includes three Disney Pixar’s Cars characters Lightning McQueen, Mater & Jackson Storm. In addition to the traditional look, it transforms into different colors once dipped into warm water.

If you have a child who loves the “Cars” movies, they will be delighted to have their own car set to play with. They will have tons of fun recreating their favorite scenes.

You get 10 mini cars, each with different details but all depicting a different character from the “Cars” movies. The cars are small and easy to handle, and they roll well.

You can use them as cake toppers, although they are also convenient for little party favors as well. A word of warning, though, these really are “mini” cars, 1 to 1.5 inches long, so again not suitable for younger toddlers, unless they’re supervised.

It’s suitable for kids from three years old.
