What our experts think

The Big Loader track allows children to explore and learn through trial and error while engaging in imaginative play with the popular Thomas & Friends. After watching the motorised train go round the track a few times, our testers realised by pressing the buttons on the side, they could send the train back and forth to different sections of the train and pick up coal.

This set really fostered their curiosity as they used problem-solving to make the trains load and unload and to change the different vehicle bodies. Sets like this are also great for imaginative play and creativity – children can act out different scenes on the track, using the familiar characters as a springboard for their storytelling. This can help them to make sense of different situations, boosting their personal, social and emotional development.
