Toydozer This innovative new product promises to make the clean up process fun and efficient for both parents and kids. The “gatherer” is designed to work like the blade of a bulldozer and the “scoop” is modeled after a bulldozer scoop. Users hold on to the “gatherer” to collect small toys into the lightweight “scoop” and then dump the toys into their respective toy bins or containers. The reality is that most of us will never love cleaning up, but the Toydozer helps everyone get the job done fast and move onto something they would rather be doing. Less cleaning means more playing!
