Glückskäfer Colourful Shape Train

This colourful pull-along train is made up of three main parts with three dowels each for slotting wooden blocks onto. This wooden toy comes with 22 blocks in different shades of red, orange, green and blue that slip over the dowels to create an engine and cargo or passenger carriages. This is a traditional wooden toy that children will enjoy to sit down with on the floor for hours of quiet play. Sort the blocks by colour or mix them up, work out the puzzle of which blocks sit together and add a string to take it along on a journey.

The blocks come in a mix of shapes to challenge older babies and toddlers. As well as being used to build a train, the blocks can also be used on their own to create toppling towers, build houses, make colourful mandalas and enjoy as counting aids. Wooden blocks have to be the most versatile toy in a play room - you can even use them as ingredients in a play kitchen. Build, play, learn and push along - choo-choo! This quality wooden toy makes a wonderful first birthday toy and is sure to be played with and treasured by future generations too.
