Trains

 

It is no surprise that train sets are amongst the most popular toys with children, but there are also lots of developmental benefits to train play. They are good for fine motor skills and problem solving as little ones try to put together a track with a continuous loop, and they are great for fostering creativity and language through imaginative play. As children play alongside one another, it is also an opportunity to develop social skills - to learn about taking turns as well as working together.

To build up your collection, I would recommend choosing a set that you like the aesthetics of, and then add extension sets and other small world components to create versatility to your set ups. I have always been partial to the Tenderleaf Toys set - I love the bridge and the neutral colour palette.

Many mainstream train track brands are compatible with each other. We have Brio and Ikea sets, but Bigjigs, Little Dutch, and Tenderleaf Toys are also compatible.
