Learning Through Play with My First Thomas & Friends Railway Pals

My First Thomas & Friends Railway Pals is sponsored by Mirum but all opinions are my own.

My First Thomas & Friends Railway Pals

By this stage of motherhood, I’ve accepted that toys are part of my life for the next few years. There always seems to be something new that my kids are interested in, but there are some classics that they always come back to.

Thomas the Train is a character that Weston has loved since he was young and that Carrigan is a fan of now. There’s just something about that friendly train.

So when we had the chance to check out the My First Thomas & Friends™Railway Pals™ Destination Discovery set, I knew it could be a toy that gets played with again and again (instead of one that gets opened and then never touched again).

Learning Through Play

We’re getting closer to the holidays which means I have holiday shopping on my mind. For my kids, it’s also birthday season so it’s a gift time of year in our house.

When it comes to gifts (versus them picking out toys on their own), I like to try and get some balance. Toys that have some learning features are high on my list. I know how learning through play is a huge part of kids lives.

My First Thomas & Friends Railway Pals has interactive vehicles and train sets with educational features that encourage development in toddlers through motor skills, thinking skills, academics, and inspiring imagination.

Since the sets feature some favorite characters, it makes all of us happy!

My First Thomas & Friends Railway Pals Destination Discovery

My First Thomas & Friends Railway Pals Destination Discovery has some amazing features that will keep kids engaged in education play, including:

• Set includes Railway Pals Percy train with cargo car, 2 cargo pieces, over 40 track pieces, 9 track activation points, light-up Tidmouth Sheds, Knapford destination, McColl’s Farm destination, trackside cargo bin, turntable, and crossing gate
• Over 50 character-driven sounds, songs, and phrases
• Up to 12 unique activation points (white cloud shapes) that give directions
• Different vehicles react to activation points in their own way

There are two different ways to play!

1. Press the characters’ light-up bumpers on the front of the engines to learn about letters, numbers, colors, and directions. Press and hold the bumpers for music and songs!
2. Roll the engines around the track and over the white cloud shaped activation points to unlock more sounds, songs, and phrases that are inspired by the characters!

Check out some of the fun things you can do with Percy and the My First Thomas & Friends Railway Pals Destination Discovery set:
