My son was not terribly interested in trains until he was 18 months, and now he is fascinated with them! He loves the bridge and the bump. The battery powered engine is wonderful as sometimes he just wants to watch the train move around the track by itself.

This is a great product in the Brio line!

This review is from: BRIO My First Battery Operated Railway Set (Toy)

Our little guy, not quite 2, is completely engaged by this toy. Sturdy wood construction, cars link by magnets, easy for his tiny hands to grasp, and works well both with and without the battery (which requires a very small screwdriver - I advise having one on hand, along with spare batteries).

This toy encourages the development of several skills, including cooperative play, large and small motor skills, directionality, colors, problem solving...and it's just plain fun for grown ups and little ones.

Extra track is available, as well as other trains (we love the safari one with the little animals), engines, switches and more.

This is a wonderful toy series of the best quality.

Although this is an Amazon shopping site, and I do most of my online shopping here, I can't help but note that Blountys wooden toys (online at blountys.com) has this set for almost half the price.

Enjoy!

This review is from: BRIO My First Battery Operated Railway Set (Toy)

Our children range from 16 down to 4. We started collecting Brio about 13 years ago. This toy has been played with by the girls and the boys, all the neighbors, and is still sitting in a prominent spot in our house, ready for the next adventure. Our four-year-old has developed great thinking skills by just trying to copy what her older brother builds. We bought this set to get my one-year-old nephew started. I recommend the battery-powered train for little ones who can't yet make it around the track on hands and knees while pushing a train.
