This review is from: Thomas & Friends - Wooden Railway - Stop and Go Figure 8 Set (Toy)

My son received this for his third birthday. We had to help him assemble the track, but he loves running the train on and around it. It is child-powered (vs. battery) which is great for exploration and imagination. The set is wood and very durable. Additional pieces can be added, and it appears we just started a collection.

This review is from: Thomas & Friends - Wooden Railway - Stop and Go Figure 8 Set (Toy)

I bought this set for my grandkids (2,3 & 5 yrs old) to play with at my house. Had to help put it together, but the rest of the time - pure fun. The playful imagination was wonderful. The only concern was with the bridge - little hands had trouble getting the trains through the passage and had to keep putting on the top bridge piece. Would definitely recommend the expansion set. Wonderful starter set to see how your little ones will enjoy Thomas and then expand from there. Also, great beginning cost value compared with other larger sets.

This review is from: Thomas & Friends - Wooden Railway - Stop and Go Figure 8 Set (Toy)

The Thomas the Tank wooden train toys and the Brio toys can be very expensive. This set is an affordable, good beginner set. It is perfect for a young child interested in trains. It can be set up in about 3 different configurations. And it is expandable, as your child's interest in trains continues.

My son just loves this train; therefore, it gets 5 stars for "fun". It stimulates his imagination, so I give it high marks for "educational value". Finally, as a wooden toy, it is very durable. It can stand up to my 2 year old son throwing the pieces around.
