Can anyone tell me the kind of brands they see on Lorrys going down the motor way?
I’m making a treasurehunt kind of list to keep toby busy on holiday, with pictures of different vehicles he will see on the way, but my mind is a complete blank!!!

Can anyone help me?

Do you mean brands they are carrying (Sainsbury’s, Argos, John Lewis, Kronospan) or brands of lorries (Scania, Eddie Stobart etc)?

Brands eh… um, Marks and Sparks, John Lewis, Co-op, Next.

You could do colours of lorries too as T is good at colours, I’m just thinking a lot of the lorries on motorways, certainly down here are foreign ones too.

Sainsburies do one with oranges on, Sky vans have pictures of tv programmes on, but it can be a bit random as to which picture is on I have seen Dora, the Simpsons and Lost.  Those are the really visual ones that stick in my mind.

a giant golden M will probably be seen en route wink

Can Toby read?  Or does he know the brands?  Just thinking colours of cars/lorries might be easier for him?  If I asked Sam to spot a ‘next’ lorry he would not have a clue what I was talking about LOL

Oh, I get it.  Are you printing out the logo for him to spot?  (duh)

Mothercare, Tesco, asda, Toys R Us, there’s a lorry we always see with a knight on it, Eddie stobart definately!, Currys, aldi, Boots, WHSmiths

Thanks everyone smile

Toby cant ‘read’ per say, but he knows a lot of corporate logos, and can tell cars apart by their badges and tell you who has a car like that. So any car wit a rover badge is like daddys car, etc.

I’m googling for images of the lorrys for each brand, and making a page of them, then sealing it inside a plastic wallet and giving him a dry wipe marker to tick them off (then we can reuse it wink)

Lots of good ideas thankyou ladies. Knew i could count on you xx

we live near a kingsmill factory, how about doing ones with just colour like a brown lorry or a red one, or how many lorry dirvers will wave, lots of them will.
