About a few years, Andrew, my good friend, once told me that his 3-years-old son liked to play toy school bus very much, at the beginning, I don’t pay attention this condition until my own young boy ask me to buy some school bus toys as his coming birthday gift, I have the question why school bus toys are so popular? Here is my personal idea.
Firstly, in daily life, school bus is closely related to children’s life, in most cases, they go to school everyday by taking school bus. By this way, children would be familiar with school bus, for example, they clearly know the red STOP sign at right side, and the emergency exit at the back. When playing with school bus toy, they can be acted as the bus driver, or just the students who go to school.
Secondly, school bus toys’ bright yellow color is easy to draw children’s attention. As is known to all, for security reasons, school buses are all yellow color so that the school bus replicas are already painted with yellow color. As for young children, they are so attractive.
Thirdly, children have mind of rivalry. It is easy to explain such reason, for example, Tom, the children in neighbor, have a good school bus toy, and I am sure your kid would want to own the same toy, it’s just how it is.
