Baby's first train.

Trains fascinate children and adults alike. Whether it's the fast new trains or the old steam trains which hold that piece of magic. We have train museums, old steam train railways lines and events. There are model railways designed and played with for and by adults. Most of us and our children will have had some sort of train toy during childhood. Many manufacturers make toy trains.

A toy train that I have played with recently alongside a child I hasten to add is the Lego baby train number 5463.

This train consists of an engine and two trucks/carriages. First the engine it's a dark green engine which is rounded to look like the boiler of an old steam train. There is a funnel of an orange ball this if depressed will toot like an engine. Behind the boiler is the driver's carriage this has a large rounded knobbly bit that another brick can fit in. A cheerful driver with a red hat is provided to sit in the drivers cab. This engine has 4 bright red wheels.
There is a linking piece at the back of the engine which fits with the link on one of the carriages.

There are two carriages one is a light green one a blue each one has two knobbles on it and each one has 4 red wheels. Basically it looks just like a large brick with two knobs on and some wheels.

Also supplied are 2 bricks which will fit on to the knobs. One brick is yellow and has a picture of a dog on it. One is blue and has a picture of a monkey on it.

So come play with me and my baby Lego train set. It is good for little children and those with poor fine motor control as the pieces fit together even easier than duplo.

You can fit the pieces together to make the train and play with it. Baby will watch you and want to join in. Baby will soon grasp how to stick the bricks together.
You can push the train along on the wheels see they go round and round ooops baby has knocked the train over. It will not work like that baby it needs to be on its wheels there can you feel the wheels go round and round as I push it along your arm. That's right now baby can push the train too chook, choo. Baby is practising gross motor skills by pushing the train and placing the bricks

We can practise making sounds as we chug the train around the floor choo choo, peep peep chhh chh chhh , shhh shhhh shh. Listen to your babies sounds it's the beginning of language copy them its fun, introduce new sounds and baby will soon try to copy them.

Look at the lovely colours the train is green that brick is blue. Baby will learn about colours and their names do say the colours when you are playing with baby. Baby will also learn about shapes and size with these brick s when he/she explores them in her/his hands and mouth. Play sorting and matching using these and the other bricks in the baby range. Learning different and the same.
Babies love to just move these bricks around putting them into tubs and boxes that's a great game; it's also useful to teach baby how to tidy up.

Lego baby is made of a safe hard plastic all smooth edges no sharp pieces. The person to get hurt is mum or dad when they walk bare footed over the Lego that baby has not put away .They are too large to swallow when baby puts them in his/her mouth.
You can begin to play imaginary games with this train go on a journey to the seaside or to town, use other toys to supplement this to make a play scene. Babies of one and over are beginning to develop an imagination. And play out scenes that they have experienced. Widen your Childs experience so they can understand the train. Go on a train journey one day.

Most important have fun play with your baby and their toys. Choo choo chooooo
