5 out of 5 stars Choo-ricfic!!!   November 17, 2008

Love it, love it, love it. I bought this for my son's second birthday. His eyes lit and and he played with it 1/2 hour straight. I finally had to take it away for bedtime. First thing in the morning he was asking for his train. My 4.5 yr daughter loves playing with it too.

He can't put the train back together perfectly yet, but much better than I expected. Great learning tool, great puzzle, great for hand eye coordination. I only wish it had a pull string - I might have my husband add that on.




5 out of 5 stars Great toy -- contains no lead   October 29, 2008

I was worried that this paint on this toy might contain lead since it's made in China. I bought a lead tester and confirmed that it's safe (I sampled several colors of paint, both were negative for lead. The tester used was an one of an eight-pack of Lead Check Swabs by HybriVet Systems, Inc.). The toy is sturdy and well constructed, and I think that it has good educational value since there are many ways that the blocks can be assembled, and a variety of shapes. My only minor concern is that the some of the unpainted blocks that form the base of each train car are slightly rough at the corners--which could lead to splinters. I'll probably need to sand these a bit before putting them to use, but that's a problem that's easily fixed.


5 out of 5 stars Very educational and entertaining   May 7, 2008

I would highly recommend this classic toy. I bought this for my son when he was age 1. At first, he would just chew on the pieces and throw them all over so I kept the train for a while and reintroduced it to him a few months later. This is one of his most favorite toys and he will be 3 years old in a few weeks. He plays with it everyday. We still have all the pieces as I have been very vigilant in looking for any misplaced pieces. Because of my son's very positive experience with this toy, I have bought another one recently to give as a gift to a 2-year-old boy. I've read that Melissa and Doug offer a lifetime warranty for this toy so that's another big plus.


5 out of 5 stars Train Lover's Favorite   January 27, 2008
My 19 month old has recently started to develop a love for trains. This toy has been a HUGE hit!! The block/train combo is about all he could ask for at this point!


5 out of 5 stars Great affordable toy   June 26, 2007

This train first caught my son's eye when we went to get him fitted for shoes at Stride Rite and they had this in the fitting area. He was just over 1 year old at the time and was mesmerized. Now, at 2 he still loves this train. He can sit and rearrange the blocks over and over. He also has a lot of other creative uses for them and they make great building blocks in their own right. This adorable train is very affordable, especially considering how long it will last. Our train has survived many rough rides and is still going strong. Highly recommended!
