Wooden trains

Oh, on the subject of wooden toys… Elias is a mad train lover, we have found Tesco’s to sell the cheapest train sets and accessories – plus they are compatible with ELC and Brio sets. (Ikea ones do fit, but snugly, which is not easy for little fingers)

We took him to Didcot railway centre recently, a must for any young train fan (or not so young!) Sadly, as I mentioned before, the sheer scale of real steam trains was a bit too much – he likes his safely tucked inside a TV or fist sized!
