    Arctic Adventure Motorized Train Set

    ABOUT:

    Based on the hit Emmy®-nominated PBS KIDS series Dinosaur Train, TOMY has developed an extensive line of original Dinosaur Train toys under the Company’s licensing agreement with The Jim Henson Company. All aboard for Arctic adventures! This motorized train set teaches kids that dinosaurs had just as much fun playing out in the snow as they do frolicking in the forest. This set comes with three collectible figures, two Arctic cardboard destination tunnels, an all-new snow covered Pteranodon Station, and over eight feet of track! Ages: 3 and up.

    MY THOUGHTS:

    My boys love trains and the show Dinosaur Train so I figured they would like the new Arctic Adventure Motorized Train Set.  It is a 8ft. long (although its much smaller since you form it in a figure eight type track-style) train set that has three carts and three dinosaurs.  The front of the train required two AAA batteries, which are not included, and then you easily tap the steam to make the trains go.  My 3 year old had no problem snapping the tracks together which is nice since I am not always able to help him.  There is also a little train station piece that my sons thought were cute as one played the conductor and made the Dinosaur Train stop to buy tickets.  The bridge/tunnel piece though is cardboard and basically looks nice but is not too functional.  So far the cardboard has lasted but I give it a few more playtimes before it is ripped, I do wish it was plastic.   Also, the dinosaurs have a little hole in one of their foots so they can be snapped onto the train cars but I was not able to get them to stay on.  My boys just throw the dinosaurs in the train cars and go, which works fine.

    Track snaps together pretty easily

    Batteries are screwed in bottom of front train

    The little hole is what you use to attache to train, but it was too hard so we just placed them in train

    Overall, this is a cute set for any Dinosaur Train fan and since it is motorized that gives to extra excitement for kids.  We had no problems with the train going around the track.  There were a few design changes that I would make (plastic tunnel instead of cardboard  and easier way to stand up dinosaurs) but it is simple for young kids and thats what counts for me.

    BUY IT:  Look for the Arctic Adventure Train Set from Dinosaur Train for a suggested retail price of $24.99-$29.99.

    WIN IT:  (1) US winner will receive the Arctic Adventure Train Set from Dinosaur Train
