I would like to say that those who believe that train sets are only for boys I have bought my little girl a brio train set and she absoulutly loves it.
Whenever we go anywhere she is always wanting to play with the wooden marvels this has given me hours of pleasure as well and encourages parents to take a pro active role in their childs play.
The trains are so simple yet so enjoyable all made of wood and very simple yet very effective in capturing the little ones imagination they also sell cars,buses,vans,fire trucks etc etc which can be placed on a mat of a road and used in conjunction with the actual train set.
If you have house work to do or chores in any sense this will keep the little loves quite for ages I even managed to clean the whole house and have a cup of tea after before settling down and spending hours playing with her and really enjoying it.
Its a bit on the expensive side about £15 for a couple of extra pieces of track and £6/7 a train but will last for years and is very safe because they don't have loads of little plastic bits etc that can be swallowed or choked on.
The set as a whole comes with only a few bits of track a couple of trains and some points but track and bridges trees buildings are available to purchase. You can also for a very steep price purchase extra sections such as train points,Thomas the Tank Engine trains and loads of buildings such as farm houses,train washes,dock loading set.
Girls and boys will love this so if you feel a bit flush then pop down to any good toy shop I use Early Learning centre and take a look I am sure that you will agree it is rather brilliant even if a bit steep in price ELC also has a full set out for the little hands to play with so you will see the attraction as soon as they walk in with you.
