Review: Great train set for any age - The Melissa & Doug Wooden Magnetic Train Cars set is a charming and well-designed toy that provides hours of imaginative play for young children. Known for their high-quality, classic wooden toys, Melissa & Doug have created another winner with this train car set, blending durability, creativity, and fun. Key Features: 1. The set includes eight brightly colored wooden train cars, each with unique designs and numbers, making it perfect for imaginative play and basic number recognition. 2Magnetic Coupling System: Each train car connects with magnets, making it easy for small hands to assemble and rearrange the trains. The magnetic coupling also works in either direction, providing flexibility for kids to create different combinations. 3. The train cars are made of sturdy wood with a smooth finish, ensuring they can withstand rough play. The paint is vibrant and long-lasting, resistant to chipping or peeling. 4. The train cars are compatible with most wooden railway systems, including Thomas & Friends and BRIO, expanding the play possibilities. Pros: - In addition to encouraging creativity, the train set introduces basic counting and number recognition, helping to build early math skills. - The trains are free from sharp edges, and the materials used are non-toxic, making them safe for toddlers. - Kids can create endless stories and scenarios while playing with the train cars, promoting problem-solving, fine motor skills, and social interaction. - The cars are just the right size for small hands, making them easy for young children to grasp and maneuver. Cons: - While the magnetic couplings are functional, they may disconnect easily if too much pressure is applied, especially during vigorous play. - The set doesn’t include tracks, so if your child doesn’t already have a compatible wooden railway, additional purchases may be needed to enhance the play experience. Final Thoughts: The Melissa & Doug Wooden Magnetic Train Cars set is a delightful toy that combines classic charm with modern design. It’s an excellent choice for toddlers and preschoolers, providing a balance of entertainment and educational benefits. While the magnets could be a bit stronger, this is a minor drawback in an otherwise outstanding product. Whether as a standalone toy or an addition to a wooden railway system, this train set offers great value and timeless appeal. It’s a wonderful gift for any young train enthusiast.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Don geez fit the wooden tracks made by Melissa and Doug, Thomas, chuggington**
A: Yes, geez fit fine.

**Q: Would these trains fit on the fold out take along Malissa and Doug track?**
A: Hi K! These Train Cars are the same size as our Take-Along Train Set...all aboard for fun!

**Q: Do the backs have pictures or are they just plain white?**
A: They aren't flat - each entire piece is complete all the way around.  For example, the engine is a complete engine, with paint and detail on every surface.  Hope I answered your question.  (My grandson loves them by the way).

**Q: Why are there not nine trains?**
A: More than annoying. My 2 year old son would point to the empty space and say, "mommy one missing" he would then look all over the house disappointed and sad he could never find it. Had to store them in something else. I dont believe wrapping is the issue. M&D is cutting corners and trying to make 300%+ profit from loyal customers.
