Wooden Thomas Trains have captivated the hearts of millions of children throughout many years.  Thomas and friends have remained true friends of children, standing the test of time.  The television show and the books centered around Thomas the Tank Engine entertain children and parents alike. With a wooden Thomas railway your child can bring to life these well known stories.

When you buy a wooden railway track you are providing hours of play for your child.  The tracks are expandable, giving endless possibilities for your child to create his or her very own Island of Sodor.  There are plenty of wooden trains, or friends, that can be purchased to keep Thomas company:  Bash, Billy, Whiff, Stanley, Toby the Tram Engine, and many more.  There are also various track sets available by Learning Curve to expand upon your child's wooden railway: Quarry Adventures Set, Roundhouse Set, Boulder Mountain Set, and Down by the Docks Set just to name a few.

The wooden railway and Thomas and friends are built with North American Maple.  They are made to stand the test of time and are durable enough for even the toughest of little engineers.  Because this toy will last, it will likely be passed from one generation to the next.  Your child will learn the art of self directed play along with developing cognitive and social skills.

The Thomas the Tank Engine sets are geared towards beginning engineers, intermediate engineers, and even advanced engineers.  Be sure to purchase a set that is appropriate for your child's stage of development and age.  Your child can reenact the adventures he reads in the stories our watches on the television with his wooden Thomas railway.  He or She is free to be the architect, creating whatever comes to the imagination.

While playing with Thomas and friends, your child will learn the value of friendship, cooperation, and sharing.  These are values that he or she will carry throughout life.  The fact that the wooden railway is ever expanding shows that this is a toy that will not likely be forgotten.  Your child will never become bored with the Thomas the Tank Engine wooden railway system.  It won't be shoved to the back of the closet or the bottom of a toy bin.  You can even buy play tables and play boards on which to place the tracks.  The play tables can also serves as a means for organizing the toys, which helps when mom has to clean!
