I'd say two, at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-age-for-a-train-set#post-1988668 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 14:15:43 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1988668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all your replies.

He was better at building by himself around 2.5 though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-age-for-a-train-set#post-1988256 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 10:55:32 +0000 yin 1988256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had a small ikea train set, and he showed interest around 18 months. By 2 years old he was obsessed, and we bought him a train table. He plays with it daily, and my 1 year old is already getting in on the action. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-age-for-a-train-set#post-1988251 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 10:52:32 +0000 mrskc 1988251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son got a small set for his 2nd birthday. He really loves it. He isn't so much into building it yet but loves to put the cars together and drive them around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-age-for-a-train-set#post-1988242 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 10:46:43 +0000 ValentineMommy 1988242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS got his around 18 months and has always been obsessed. He plays with it every day and is almost 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-age-for-a-train-set#post-1988229 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 10:42:52 +0000 SeptMomma12 1988229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO got a train table for his 2nd birthday and has been obsessed since. Now at 27 months I see him getting even more creative with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-age-for-a-train-set#post-1988222 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 10:41:32 +0000 regberadaisy 1988222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got one for my nephew who's 32m.

I want one for DD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-age-for-a-train-set#post-1988217 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 10:40:22 +0000 fancyfunction 1988217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a small one for M for Xmas - she turned 2 last week.

But to actually build and play with it for an extended period of time, my son was older, like almost 3.5. This year, he asked for more wooden railway engines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-age-for-a-train-set#post-1988187 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 10:30:32 +0000 BandDmommy 1988187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is one of LOs big Santa gifts, he's 2.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-age-for-a-train-set#post-1988186 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 10:30:21 +0000 autumnlove 1988186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a train set for a 2 year old. He wasn't impressed but his 3 year brother is obsessed with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-age-for-a-train-set#post-1988177 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 10:26:51 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1988177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's the ideal age for a train set? I'm thinking about waiting a few more months before giving one to our 2.5 year old. It's a wooden set with batteries.</p> <p>When did you introduce trains to your LO? </p>
