Best Thomas the Tank Engine Toys for a 2 year old

My two year old son loves Thomas the Tank Engine and people buy him lots of Thomas the Tank engine toys.

He enjoys watching Thomas DVDs, loves reading the books and is quite into some of the characters, his favourites include Percy and James. He has probably liked Thomas DVDs, books and toys since he was about 20 months old.

For Summer, there are also different Thomas toys you can use outside. A Thomas play tent is great for imaginative play, provides instant Summer shade and is featured below. Other ideas include a Thomas trike, a Thomas battery operated ride on or why not take the Thomas bath toys outside to play with in an inflatable pool or a water table?

If you're wondering what to buy a two year old you can't go wrong with some of the Thomas the tank engine toys.

My 2 year old has a remote control car with simple controls to move the car forwards and backwards that he loves driving. It's a perfect toy for his age group.

You can get remote control Thomas the train toys like the ones featured below that I know any 2 year old Thomas fan would love.

My son is now 2 1/2 and loves his wooden railway set. He plays for ages putting the tracks together and then moving his magnetic trains around the track. It keeps him occupied for some time.

You can get wooden Thomas train sets. These do tend to be on the expensive side so it may be worth considering a compatible Thomas track featured below. You could then add Thomas trains and accessories.

My 2 year old loves ride ons including trikes. He's not quite able to pedal yet, but he goes on his trike and uses his feet to push himself around.

There are actually Thomas themed trikes for 2 year olds and the trike below is a great option, recommended age is from 2 years.

There is a three position adjustable seat so the trike is designed to grow with your child.

The trike features flashing lights, sounds, music, and “walkie-talkie” phrases from Thomas and Friends. There's also a storage compartment - my own son loves storage compartments on ride on toys and loves putting stuff in them and carting them around so this is a good features.

Thomas the tank engine take n play toys are a great alternative for other trainsets. The advantage that they have over other trains is that they are portable (hence the name). The take n play trains are the right size to fit perfectly in toddler's hands and carry. The play sets are designed so with storage space so that you can throw a few trains into the play set, close it up and take it with you.

Have a look at some of the different suggestions below.

This is a great floor puzzle that my son loves. He was given it for his 2nd birthday and it's a really nice thing to sit down and do together. It encourages him to concentrate on something for a while.I think it will last a while because eventually I am hoping he will sit down and do it on his own.

Play tents are great for 2 year olds. They are especially great in the hot weather as you can put them up outside in the garden and there is instant shade. In the Winter they can be put up inside the house. My son and niece play with one at their grandmas. They love sitting in it, hiding in there, playing in there and will eat their lunch in their too. Here is great Thomas play tent.

My own son loves ride ons and Thomas so this is like a dream come true for him.

I had to add a Thomas book to my list. My 2 year old son loves looking at books and Thomas is one of his favourites. As well as the set featured below you can get Thomas the train lift the flap books. My 2 year old loves lifting up the flaps and will actually sit for a couple of minutes on his own looking at the book which gives me a few moment to myself now and again.

We haven't got any Thomas the train trackmaster products but if you are looking for a Thomas the train set another option is the Thomas the tank engine trackmaster sets. These are motorised train sets. This trackmaster sets tend to be slightly more affordable than the wooden sets The sets are durable and should encourage lots of imaginative play.

Many 2 year olds still love their bath and to make it even better why not get them some Thomas the train bath toys.

Another soft huggable pillow makes another cute gift for Thomas fans. My own 2 year old loves soft things to feel hug and cuddle so would definitely love this.
