Big City Wooden Rail Train Table from the Early Learning Centre.

WOW, from the second I spied this, I showed it to my hubby – ‘This will solve all our problems’!! A huge statement and maybe a little bit heavy, but I was convinced.

The Big City Wooden Rail Train Table from the Early Learning Centre is just what it says – A big wooden train table, but it is also much more.

This table itself measures: 40cms high, 119cm wide and 83cm deep, so it is a brilliant size. Now, you may think – ‘Do I have room for that?’, but we are short of space and I still believe it was a great addition to our house.

There are over 100 pieces that come with this set – trains, track, train accessories and a colourful 2 sided table top – one side train suited, the other a road which is great for playing with cars.

I got this table for neither of the above reasons! My children LOVE building bricks – as I am sure all children do. Every weekend they would cover my entire dining room table with their ‘town’ and it would look great until Sunday morning when I wanted to set the table for dinner. The bricks never lifted off in one piece and there were tears all round.

We have the table in my son’s bedroom. Somedays I go up and it is a beautiful well organised and buzzing train station. The next week, it is lined with houses and cars – unfortunately my children also play ‘funerals’ like I would have as a child – is this normal?? They simply love to line the cars in a row and move each one about a millimetre forward at a time funeral style!!

Following that phase, they will then turn to the bricks. This table is great for cars and trains but it is INCREDIBLE for playing with bricks. The ‘car’ side of the table top is the street, and they play for hours on end on this table.

Conviently, the table has a storage drawer which will hold all the accessories when not in use – another brilliant idea.

No more standing on Lego – isn’t that the most painful item to ever stand on, even when wearing shoes?? OOUCH!

All the bricks, cars and trains are now off the dining room table and also the floor mat and played with neatly on the Big City Wooden Rail table. This cannot come highly enough recommended by myself – absolutely the ultimate Christmas gift this year. Treat yourself mum’s – with this table, you will never have to spend half an hour tidying up after the kids go to bed ever again!
