Some of the best toys for kids are some of the toys you probably remember from your own childhood.
A
toy train set can offer up hours and hours of pretend play for one child or a group of children creating different destinations, travels or even acting out scenes from a favorite movies such as "The Polar Express" which created a renewed interest in trains for many younger children.
Talk to your child about trains, explain how they were once the hub of transportation and it wasn't so easy to just hop on an airplane or jump in a car and get across country and a train was pretty much the only way to accomplish getting from point A to point B.
This train set is fully kid-powered and the train pieces lock together via magnets on the ends of the cars. You can talk about colors, going fast or going slow and also talk about going right and left and make playtime a learning time. If your child notices that if he holds the train cars one way, the magnets repel each other and when he turns one car they click together - you can talk about the north and south of magnets and let him learn a cool fact.
Anything can be turned into a learning time for your kids but that doesn't mean it can't be a ton of fun too!
