Train Tables.......

Does your child have a train table? Do you find that they use it as much as you had hoped? I have a train table for my daycare children. We ended up having to screw down the main tracks because they were forever tearing it apart. They love the train table and use it often.

We do not have a train table. I also run an in-home daycare and have thought about getting one. Don't know what one I would get though. There always seems to be so many different choices. Which brand do you have??

I'm not sure what the brand name of mine is. We bought it at Sam's Club a couple of years ago. It's white and has a drawer on each end. It also came with all the tracks, people, trees and trains.

Oh yes that is true!! I keep the trains in a plastic container in a cabinet. When they want to play with the train table I let them have the trains. But all trains go back in the container when we are done. Otherwise they get lost.

Santa got one for my son last year when he was 2 years old and he loves it. Him and my daughter are always playing on it and they have so much fun. That is by far the best investment we've made!

Me and my husband are thinking on getting my son and daughter a train table set to play with.His sister got her daughter a train table set for christmas and she liked it.My children liked playing with it is as well .They actually got along together I guess because the train table is big enough for them to play.

I am hoping t get my son one for his birthday. But im not so sure now if we can. The one we are looking at is sold at a toys tore where they do all wooden toys, its made to be put together and taken apart, you can even buy extra tracks and toys to go with it, they are in bulk like bins. Which is great, if he looses some its just a little bit to get new pieces. Every time we go into the store its the first thing he runs to and wants to play with, and gets So upset when we try to take him away from it. So i can imagine it would be one of the better loved toys in my home.
