Guest Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I know its September but James has his heart set (and this has been for months now) on a SACK BARROW!!! Now whilst I am happy to go out and buy one on behalf of Santa I'm worried that he will be disappointed when he realises it's so big that he can't use it. Has anyone ever seen a child size one on sale anywhere? Keep your eyes peeled. My other option is to see if I can get one made, if I hadn't changed schools I would have asked the head of DT but not sure about going back to ask him now. Do you think I could find a firm to custom make one? I'm not over worried about the cost as I usually buy all his toys at the boot sale so once a year I buy him one big new present (I know how mean am I!!)

lisa33 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hi, I had a quick look and could n't find thing on the internet. Could you make a wooden one maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I will ask The Hubby to keep an eye out - he often sees odd things like this in Builders merchants etc As for custom made - how about asking at a local Smithy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkleeeeee Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 how big is he (or how old)? i will keep my eyes open at the auctions as someone there makes small chairs wheelbarrows etc sometimes. i will also look out at the car boot and the merchants. would he be swayed into a trolley type thing instead? what does he intend to use it for? or this one has telescopic handels http://www.haemmerlin.ltd.uk/sacktrucks.htm any good?

Guest Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Thanks all, I think that last one could be just the trick - it looks like a real one but is small enough for him to handle! We may well get a full sized one as well as we need to move things soo far around the garden but I'd rather he had one that was a decent size for play and not forever being dropped around my house (I can just see him constantly barging my furniture and dropping one that is too large for him) Oh why do kids have such strange ideas?
