My kids love our wooden train set (from when I was a kid) and loooove their costume bin. In fact, I spend loads of time trying to plan out my next costumes to make for them. Great post. Good luck in the contest.

My son has discovered the love of trains too We only have two lonely train cars right now, but he could care less – he loves to scoot them around the wooden tracks (that I got for less than $5 at a garage sale this summer – woohoo!).
His 2nd birthday is in 9 days and I bought him a set of 5 new train cars, something tells me I did ok
Great post!

For Halloween this year my oldest daughter wanted to be a zebra. So we dressed her in white and plastered black electrical tape stripes on her. She was thrilled. Her kindergarden teacher said she was the first zebra she’d ever seen, which thrilled me that my daughter, came up with the idea all by herself and stood out from the rest of the princesses and witches. She was pretty proud about it too.

I remember trains when I was a kid, and my own children had trains when they were young too. I also remember making intricate race track designs from several sets of “Hot Wheels” tracks, so trains aren’t the only way to stimulate a young imagination!!

We’re not at the point of trains yet, but I expect a train set is in our future. The Poptart’s grandfather (Darren’s dad) is a train fanatic. We managed to wrangle him a private tour of the local museum here and there’s a train track that goes all through it. He absolutely loved it.

As for imaginative play – well, she’s a bit young to know exactly what she’s doing. But she talks to her stuffies and rattles, so we’ll call that imagining for now

Hi Gwen:

I love the picture of Aiden and his intricate track making. Such fun!
My son, too, loved trains when he was little.
Good luck with the contest.

I had a little electric train when I was young, but all it did was go around in a circle. Not a lot of fun.

This one looks much better, I imagine that the play factor is high. The only thing that I see wrong is that he needs more tracks and cars.

LOL.

Love

Grandpa John
