Driving the playtime of kids for 75 years, iconic toy brand Tonka is celebrating this milestone by calling for Aussies to share their favourite Tonka moment! A rite of passage for generations who have grown up Tonka tough, Aussies are encouraged to look back on their mighty adventures to be in the draw to win the ultimate Tonka pack valued at $750.

Whether zipping across floors, tables or sandpits, Tonka Trucks encourages kids to be active, get outdoors and inspires together play.

It’s great to see the generational impact these toys have had on families, with kids and adults having many special memories playing with Tonka’s diverse range. With 75 years of Tonka, we’re excited to see our dedicated supporters delve down memory lane and share their most treasured Tonka snapshots” said Sarah Young, Director, Licensed Consumer Products, Pacific.

Tonka’s line of toys has evolved over the years, but the classic steel Mighty Dump Truck remains the world’s favourite with roughly 15 million sold to date. The brand has expanded into books, apparel, role play toys, bikes, and Tonka Tough pet toys.
