Alphabet Train Fun



Chugga chugga chugga woo woo!  Ok, I don't know how to spell train noises, but that's my best attempt.  We got the Infantino Alphabet Train from our church's toy exchange and gave it to Li'l Girlie for Christmas.  It's really designed for kids 3-5, but since she's really, really into trains right now, we figured we'd try it out.

Right now Li'l Girlie just enjoys watching us put the train together, making train noises and trying to say what the object is on the top of the train cars when we point to them.  I can see how it will become a really fun way to learn the alphabet as she gets to be a bit older.  This puzzle, along with several other Infantino puzzles, is an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio winner and has suggested games and activities on the top of the box. The whole train is over 5 feet long, so the size of it even appealing for little kids.  Definitely a floor puzzle that can be worked on by more than one person.

The pictures are cute and colorful; the only kind of odd one is the big Jello mold for the letter 'J'.  But then again, how many easily recognizable things begin with J?
