Look & Find: Easter Hunt and Eggcellent Easter Mazes

My kids love to read, but they also love activity books, too! They actually got their hands on these two books already and have spent a ton of time hunting for 800+ Easter-themed objects and finding their way through nearly 50 Easter-themed mazes. These books are great for keeping in the car for those moments when they just need something to look at for a few minutes.

These 1:64 scale trucks feature official BKT tires, stylized chrome rims, and embody the style and swagger of the trucks seen in the show.

Baby Bottle Pop Variety Pack and Push Pop Candy Party Pack
