wooden trains

Children's track playthings

Wooden trains are toy locomotives and cars made of wood, typically with simple shapes and bright paint, designed to run on interlocking wooden tracks.

A staple of early childhood play, they connect with magnets or hooks and require no batteries or electricity: The kids spent the morning building elaborate wooden train layouts.

Brands like Brio and Thomas the Tank Engine dominate the category.
