Christmas arrives by rail
Holiday decorating with small kids tends to go one of two ways: they help, or they “help.” Either way, something gets rearranged.
This Thomas & Friends Christmas set makes the rearranging the whole point. You get a motorized Thomas engine, eight pieces of track, a Christmas tree cargo piece, and a Santa’s reindeer cargo piece. Flip the switch and Thomas races around the loop with the holiday in tow.
The large fabric Christmas tree does double duty. Leave it out as a festive centerpiece while the train runs, then use it as the storage bag when playtime wraps up. The pieces get a home, which beats finding a reindeer under the couch in February.
It’s made for ages 3 and up and arrives in holiday-themed gift packaging. Yes, it’s October. If you’re checking off gifts now, you’re ahead of schedule. (Enjoy it. It won’t last.)
One heads-up: it runs on 2 AAA batteries, and they’re not included. Grab a pair so Christmas morning doesn’t turn into a scavenger hunt through the junk drawer.
