We got this toy for my son on his 1st birthday, and he loves it! He stands up at it and plays with the train and makes the choo-choo noises! He had never seen a train before this toy, so this thrilled us. Now he loves trains. He loves to play with the blocks on the part with the train also, putting them in the slots and banging them together. He can't build things with the building blocks yet, but he loves to play with them. This toy will be around for a hwile because he can grow into the blocks. It's the best toy, and well woth it! We've given 2 away as gifts already!
