We've
always preferred simple toy trains that are designed for open-ended play without anthropomorphized rolling stock or odd Victorian morals. And, for many years,
Brio wooden trains were the perfect fit.
Brio trains encourage open-ended play and are so durable they're usually passed from one child to another. A good set of track and trains offers a child the opportunity to continually recreate a working world in miniature, an exercise of imagination that also seeks to understand the workings of our real world. Brio has always understood why children love toy trains, which is why we've always loved Brio.
In the past couple of years, however, Brio was unavailable in the U.S., which was a little sad.
Thankfully,
Brio Toy Trains are now back in the U.S. and at Peapods! We've got new wooden engines, track, and a variety of starter sets to choose from. We recommend starting with one of
Brio's starter sets and adding
expansion packs,
additional track or
trains, or a
BEKA train table over time.
Stop in and play on our new Brio Train Table and see what we mean. There's just something magical about pushing little wooden trains around on wooden track.
