What could be more exciting than a little train that children can transform according to their own ideas? The MAXI Wooden Train combines the charm of a traditional wooden toy with the creative possibilities of a construction set, inviting young builders to experiment with shapes and discover new arrangements.
The set features a locomotive and two carriages designed to hold wooden building elements in various geometric shapes. The pieces, including rounded elements, can be arranged in different combinations, allowing each carriage to take on a unique appearance.
How to play
Children can begin by exploring the wooden pieces and discovering how they fit onto the train's stacking pegs. They can choose the order of the elements, compare different shapes, and experiment with new arrangements until they create a design they like.
Once assembled, the train is ready for an imaginary journey. It might travel to a make-believe station, carry imaginary passengers, or become the main character in an exciting railway story.
When the adventure comes to an end, the pieces can be removed and rearranged, inviting children to return to the game and create something new.

-
Fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, by grasping and placing the pieces onto the pegs.

Geometric shape recognition, by exploring and comparing the different elements.
-
Spatial awareness, by experimenting with different arrangements.
