Operating the Playset
This playset encourages imaginative role-play centered around forest work. Here are some ways to interact with the components:
Using the Utility Vehicle
The utility vehicle features rolling wheels for movement. The forester figure can be placed in the driver's seat. The cargo bed can be opened to load and unload logs or other accessories. The front winch with the hook can be used for towing or pulling objects.
