Description
On call and ready to help! Lance is a wooden ambulance built for the gentler side of vehicle play — rushing to the rescue, collecting a poorly teddy, and getting everyone safely where they need to be.
Rescue play is lovely to watch unfold. There’s urgency and purpose to it, but the whole point is looking after someone, which makes an ambulance a surprisingly nurturing toy. Lance arrives with his own collectible poster too, part of a wider collection of fifty wooden cars to discover over time.
He’s made from FSC-certified birch and beechwood, finished in water-based non-toxic paints, entirely plastic-free, and packed in a carbon neutral box.
Why we love the Le Toy Van Lance Ambulance:
- Caring Rescue Play: An ambulance brings the helping, healing side of vehicle play, with someone to look after at the end of every journey.
- One of Fifty to Collect: Part of a wider wooden car collection, with a collectible poster included in the box.
- Plastic-Free and FSC-Certified: Birch and beechwood from responsibly managed forests, in a carbon neutral box.
- Sturdy and Simple from Age 2: Chunky, well-balanced, and easy for toddlers to push about on their own.
Why are rescue vehicles good for imaginative play?
Because they come with a built-in story. An ambulance needs somewhere to go and someone to help, so children naturally invent a problem and then solve it — which is the beginning of real narrative thinking. It also gives them a gentle way to play out worries about getting hurt or being unwell.
What is the collectible poster for?
It shows the wider collection of fifty wooden cars, so children can see which vehicles exist and which they already have. Plenty of families put it up on a bedroom wall and let their child mark off the ones they’ve collected, which turns adding a car into a small occasion.
Lights on, siren going, and Lance is on his way!
