Trains seem to be a staple toy of a little boys life, but don't forget that little girls love things that go too! When it comes to trains and train tracks, there are lots of options out there. I tend to gravitate towards the wooden sets, mostly because they are sturdier and much nicer to deal with than the plastic variety, but they also seem to last forever. My mother-in-law has a wooden train set that was my husbands (ahem...almost 28ish years ago) that is in near perfect condition still. In fact, it's Greyson's favorite thing to play with when he goes to Mamaw and Papaw's house.
It's important to remember that when thinking about a train set, less can be much, much more. I've seen many toddlers get completely overwhelmed by hundreds of pieces of track and never able to keep it together just perfectly. Most of the time, they are perfectly content with a simple 8 piece track that they can easily get together and manage themselves. It's nice to add track pieces as they get older, too.
