Installing power lines with kids ride on crane truck, utility truck. Educational | Kid Crew

In this episode we use a kids crane truck to establish utility service to the playhouse by installing power poles, a transformer, and wires (ropes). Then we play a fun game a home with Bruder construction toys to build and rebuild a skyscraper. Mom’s moving into the playhouse with a blender, but after adding in the ingredients for milkshakes she discovers that she hasn’t gotten utility service for the house yet. Luckily the Kid Crew electrical utility is ready with a ride on crane truck, that’s seen a lot of upgrades since the last time it was used. It now has big sturdy stabilizers, a second steer axle to handle the extra weight, and an auger to drill holes in the dirt for power poles. The truck arrives and folds out its stabilizers. Then uses a drill with an auger to do the dirt work for a pole. Then the truck switches into crane mode and picks up a utility pole and installs it in the ground. Next we install a pretend transformer made from a paint can onto the power pole and a service entrance on the playhouse for wires. Then two more power poles, and then the system is ready for wires. We string the wires, made of rope, onto the poles and into the house. With the job done, Kid Crew heads inside the playhouse to check the blender, and it works! So now he can make milkshakes! Next, we play a fun game at home with Bruder construction toys to build a skyscraper. We use a toy crane truck, dump truck, semi truck, and steamroller. Once the structure is built, we add cross-bracing to stiffen the structure, and then paper to make walls. In the educational segment we learn how electrical transformers work. Come pretend play with us! Join us kids, toddlers, girls, and boys as we use our ride on toy trucks, toy tractors, and toy equipment to do construction, farming, and home improvement pretend play projects. While we play our games and drive our vehicles, we learn about engineering, science, STEM, and how things work in our educational segment. Thank you for watching Kid Crew!
