The history
TONKA originated in 1947 in Mound, Minnesota originally created and manufactured by Mound Metalcraft, a manufacturer of garden implements.
The company began selling metal toys, which soon became the primary business. In November 1955, Mound Metalcraft changed its name to TONKA Toys Incorporated. The name TONKA comes from the Dakota Sioux word “Tanka” or Tonka, which means “great” or “big”.
In 2001, TONKA trucks were inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame at The Strong in Rochester, New York.
For almost 70 years, TONKA trucks have been the undisputed kings of the sandbox for decades. Built on the notion that “a toy shouldn’t break just because a child plays with it,” they’re strong, sturdy and long lasting. Back in the ’70s, TONKA even had an elephant stand on one, just to prove their point.

What the boys thought
The boys have been checking out the new range at Asda and having a play. Here’s what they thought and a closer look at the toys themselves.
They’ve had lots of fun out of these. The playset didn’t seem that robust when we unpacked it but it seems to be holding up to regular play. The cars are great fun – have you seen these in your local Asda?
