One of our favorite gifts to get at Christmas and birthdays is a cool new piece for our wooden train set. Just adding a bridge or a stoplight makes the whole set seem new and fun all over again. I love having plenty of pieces because all the kids enjoy playing together when we get out trains. The older girls are great at making complicated track designs for the little boys to play with.
The trains and track (except for the train station and the parking garage) all fit in two under the bed plastic boxes. Most of our pieces are Brio and we find them to be high quality. Melissa and Doug track pieces work well also. The parking garage is Brio and is super sturdy. Colin and Isaac got it once as a combined Christmas gift. It connects to the train track also.
Some of our favorite pieces are: (links are just for fun, I’m not an Amazon affiliate)
Starter kit with awesome sturdy bridge
Brio ascending track and stacking track supports
Brio tow truck – fun with the parking garage cars
Brio dump truck – cargo works with the crane
We also have a local toy store that sells track by the piece. Its fun to grab a few more curves, an adaptor piece, more straight track, etc.
Do you have any train lovers at your house?
