Hugo received a couple wooden trains for Christmas this year and he loves them all. We ended up returning one that he received from Masterminds only because he didn't need three stacking block trains and we had a gift receipt for it. We added a bit of his Christmas money and bought him a switchback racetrack when we returned the train {he had played with a similar one at a birthday party we went to & he really like it}. The nice thing about this toy is that it doesn't need batteries {insert jumping for joy}.
Hugo already had two trains that Oma & Opa brought back for him from Prince Edward Island. One spells out his name. I have it in his room, and the following one which he plays with a lot. I believe they bought the following one at the Toy Factory in New Glasgow, PEI, Canada. (You can check out what they have to offer).
They had it engraved on the side and bottom (such a nice personalised touch).
Hugo really likes his stacking block trains that he received for Christmas . He received the one he is playing with below made by Melissa & Doug. It is really good for colour recognition and it allows him to be creative with how he assembles each piece -- great workout for the mind.
He also likes playing with this other one he received at Christmas. It's made by Imaginarium. It's also very colourful. The really nice part about this train -- is the poles on which the pieces sit are not stiffly glued on, instead they are loosely attached with a rope. Should a child trip and fall face down into an empty pole, this construction means the pole will flex.
Well there's three brief reviews on his 3 trains. He loves playing with all of them, and I would recommend them all if you are searching for something to get a toddler ... boy or girl!
Earlier this week I snapped this pic of Hugo sitting with his legs crossed (his new thing), playing with his toys {please excuse his startled look ... I guess he wasn't expecting Momarazzi to start snapping}. His new switchback racetrack is in the bottom left part of the photo.
