Banban's Choo-choo Train

Banban's Choo-choo Train
Brain Child
Tillywig Award Winner 2021

Little ones respond to this early learning toy with curiosity and glee as their hands-on investigations trigger a variety of fun responses that include train and animal sounds, music, light-up action, and a variety of verbal greetings and goodbyes! As soon as the train is turned on it says hello and invites the child to play, with the position of a switch determining whether the words are spoken in Chinese or English. Riding the train are 3 animal blocks: Banban, Frog and Chick. Each is a different color and rests on a connected base that fits into a same-shaped opening. Each time the child removes an animal from the train or fits it back in its place, the train issues a hello or goodbye to the animal by name and intermittent animal sounds responses that inspire lots of manual activity and motor skills development. Each time all 3 animals are properly placed on board, the train whistles and plays an upbeat song in recognition of the accomplishment. These various rewarding responses motivate youngsters to happily play and learn colors, order, verbal self-expression, shape-matching, and more!
