Wooden Train Set - Classic Deluxe Starter Set

Details

What's not to love about a wooden train set? Every child deserves the opportunity to learn through hands-on play with a wooden train set like this one. Just like a real train, this classic wooden model drives up the hill and stops at a station.

The 25-piece set features an engine with two magnetic wagons, tracks, ascending tracks with pillars, a railway station, and trees. Even the youngest of train engineers will have loads of fun. 

BRIO's classic wooden railway system has been their most popular collection for years. Heirloom quality, BRIO is possibly the most expansive railway system sold today. There are an endless amount of tracks, trains, and accessories, encouraging construction and creativity. This railway set is eco-friendly. Designed in Sweden, it is crafted from 100% beechwood, harvested from well-managed forests.

Developmental Value

Aside from building blocks, we believe train sets are one of the best toys you can buy for your children because both physical and imaginative play come together, often in deep engagement and a state of flow.

Children will imagine stories and whistle train sounds Woo Woo as the train gets pushed along the tracks. Even adults can become train fanatics well after office hours are over, making the parental bond time fun for everyone.

By the time children reach 24-36 months, eye-hand coordination is becoming refined and fine motor skills are improving through handling small objects.

Regarding social skills, large train sets are a nice way for children to play alongside one another because they can play together independently and actively, which is normal at this age.

Boredom doesn't set in quickly with train sets. If a child has enough add-ons, the imagination can run wild with engineering challenges of track design, bridges, stations, and more.
