Holiday GG 2010 Learning Curve Chuggington the Training Yard with Loop Playset

Chuggington is the newest train show on Disney. It has become very popular very quickly.
My son Shane is just in love with anything Trains and thinks Chuggington is the best.
I love chuggington because it teaches him about friendship, being honest, listening carefully, persisting under adversity, completing tasks, resolving conflict without violence, and many similar important life values.

IT'S TRAINTASTIC :)

Learning Curve was kind enough to send my son the Training Yard with Loop Playset



The Training Yard with Loop Playset is truly an action-packed experience! Engines plummet down the spiral track, shoot through the launcher , and race through an exciting 360° overhead loop! Motorized engine launcher propels up to two engines through the loop. Includes a die-cast Wilson engine and a Vee figure.

My son loves this set. He gets so excited when the train shoots around the track and through the loop.

My video camera is not functioning and I wanted you to see how awesome this toy really is so here is a video from youtube that does a great job showing how it works.



I think Learning Curve makes some of the best toys on the Market.

Not only that they are very Generous. They sent me an extra Training Yard with Loop Playset to give to a 4 1/2 year old boy at our church who's house caught fire.


I would definitively recommend the Training Yard with Loop Playset for that special kid for the holiday's this year. This is a quality toy that will be played with a lot and last a long time.

Holiday GG 2010 Thomas Wooden Railway Early Engineers Review and Giveaway



Shane loves Thomas and Trains. Everything is choo choo trains right now. With the Holiday's going to be here soon we knew a train set was a must for Shane. After looking at many different options we settled on the LEARNING CURVE Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway sets.

Why because Learning Curve makes really nice train sets where the tracks are made out of real wood. Real wood means a solid set that will last a long time.

What I love is that Learning curve makes different sets for different ages but all the Wooden Railway sets are able to be connected to each other. So you can create you own custom train set/table.

Learning Curve sent me the Early engineers Busy Day on the Sodor Set


"With the Busy Day on Sodor Set, young engineers are on board to experience hours of
train play excitement! Easy to set-up and easy to play, the set includes three interactive and interchangeable destinations; a washdown with fun washing flaps, a coal hopper with rattling coal pieces and a two-way engine depot destination. Designed with little hands in mind, the set features deep rail tracktiles and chunky vehicles for easy engine control. The set includes two engines, molded track layout with wooden tracktiles and three destinations. Early Engineers Sets are 100 percent compatible with the rest of the Thomas Wooden Railway. Ages: 18M and up. SRP: $49.99"




Shane LOVES this set. Every morning he wakes up asking if he can play with his Thomas.
He spends many hours a day playing with this set. It keeps his attention mare than any other toy he has right now. I really like it because it encourages imaginative play.

We were so impressed by this set we went out and bought the more advanced Thomas railway Figure 8 set for him for Christmas.

The Busy Day on Sodor Set would make a great gift for any boy and girl that loves trains ages 18 months to 3 years old. After the age of three I would recommend going to the more Advanced Thomas wooden railways sets.

WIN IT

Learning Curve has been kind enough to offer one of my readers a Busy Day on Sodor Set. RV $49.99
