We as parents like to see our children enjoying their toys through imagination and creative play, and I know many are confused over what to buy their children in terms of wooden train sets. Here is a beginner’s guide to Wood Trains and things to look for:

Sometimes the smaller the better
Not every child will take to wood trains. It is best to start with a small train set, usually with an oval track configuration that comes with one or two trains. Almost all of the big brand names that make wooden trains like Thomas wooden trains have these type of sets.

It is best to stick with quality sets
Of the many hundred companies that make wood trains and wood train sets, there are only a handful with the trusted reputation and long history of making quality wood toys year after year. One such brand is Thomas Wooden Railway which is manufactured by Learning Curve, a company that has a very reputable reputation. They produce quality trains that are based on the hit TV show, and children love to play with their favorite characters. When you look to quality and global recognition, there is no brand more reputable than BRIO which has been making the BRIO engine for nearly 100 years. BRIO is a trusted global name in wood toys that parents look to for the utmost quality standards. Other trusted companies that all make quality products but are lesser known are both Imaginarium and Melissa and Doug, with both companies having several wooden train sets.

Expand, Expand, Expand!
The beautiful about buying a brand name train set like Thomas and Brio is that you can interchange them easily. There are a ton of expansion ideas from different track pieces and sets, tunnels and bridges and some very interesting engines. Your child will tell you with thier cues when it is the right time to expand your wooden train set.

Let your child have fun with their set and use thier imagination in creative play. Your little conductor can be busy for hours with the right wooden train set.
