Review of Alphabet Train

Our kids are learning every second of every day. So part of our job as parents, is making sure they are learning the right things. With kids, its never too early to start learning. Numbers, letters, colors, shapes- even a newborn can start to recognize these things when presented with them enough. The bad thing about toys though, is that often times, kids lose interest in a matter of a few weeks and then that toy is no longer relevant as a learning tool. Well, we have found a learning toy that we have used for 2 years already and will continue to do so for a few more i'm guessing! The VTech Alphabet Train Station (VTECH ALPHABET TRAIN STATION) had proven to be a learning tool for many ages. We started using this train about two years ago with my then 1 1/2 year old. At first, we mostly used it as a fine motor tool which challenged my son to get the small "letter pieces" into the slot they go it. We then began using it to identify different colors. Now that my son is 3, we have started using it as a picture identification tool, along with an alphabet recognition tool. In the mean time, the train continuously plays music and lights up at any action with the train- which keeps him interested while he's learning! This product has truly been a learning tool for my son and I believe his academic success will show its usefulness!
