Chuggington Playset: Wash and Fuel Set

Chuggington Playset: Wash and Fuel Set

I may have a daughter but that does not mean she is not into trains.  Give the girl a car or train set and she can play for hours. Imagine her delight when I introduced the Chuggington Wash and Fuel Playset (say that ten times fast!) by Learning Curve Brands!  This set is so up her alley- she loves doing the things that mommy and daddy do- cleaning and getting gas included!

The play set is designed for ages 3+ but as a 2+ year old, she was able to get a lot out of it with adult supervision.

She loved zooming the two cars around the track, but was also very impressed when I showed her how to control the crank which allows the trains to race around the track on their own!!!  The coolest feature by far is the fact that the trains communicate with each other! They have tons of phrases which is very impressive.

As a mom and a teacher, I am thrilled to see just how much this encouraged Ava’s social-emotional skills, her imaginative play skills are exploding these days, thanks to awesome toys like this.

Thank you to Learning Curve Brands for providing such a fun toy for us to play with this summer, it sure is getting it’s use over here! All opinions are our own.

The Dinosaur Train- Buddy Mini Plush

Looking for a small but mighty gift this year? Maybe as a stocking stuffer? Look no furthur than Learning Curve's line of products. They recently teamed up with Jim Henson in a variety of toy/tv ventures, one of them being Dinosaur Train.

Dinosaur Train is a children's show that is presented in short segments (perfect for those young attention spans).  It has an underlying scientific theme while partnering the two things preschoolers love best: dinosaurs and trains!  The episodes follow Buddy, a preschool-aged t-rex who rides the train with his adoptive family to embark on fabulous adventures all over the world.

Dinosaur Train is a PBS kids show, so you know it will be entertaining yet wholesome.  Baby A is JUST getting into trains, but her two-year-old cousin LOVES them and LOVES the show!  We just started watching it and look forward to learning more about the characters and the show.

Learning Curve has an awesome line of toys to support everybody's love of Dinosaur Train.  One of my favorites (besides the train sets of course) are the mini plush toys.  They are soft and sweet, and are the perfect size for little hand and toddler beds!  At $9.99 you cannot beat the price either.  Baby A loves "rawr-ing" each time she sees it, and it seems to prompt a giggle and a "that's so cute" from my husband.

The plush toy is perfect for car rides/travel, to take to daycare for naptime, and to sleep with at night.  You can check out the other stuffed animals that are available here...I have a feeling Santa will have to bring a few of Buddy's friends to our house this Christmas!

Learning Curve provided us with a Buddy plush to help facilitate this review. All opinions are 100% ours.
