BRIO Classic Figure 8 Set Review
BRIO are a heritage brand that is over 130 years old. They specialise in high quality wooden products suitable from 0 to 99 years!
All BRIO wooden toys are made from FSC certified wood which means its traceable and originates from responsible Forestry.
This figure of 8 playset is a classic BRIO starter train set for children age 2+, but we all know that you really are never to old for trains.
Jake is eight and is still train mad after being introduced to trains from an early age with his first ever wooden train set, which I’m sure I bought him for his first birthday.
Upon receiving this figure of 8 play set to review Grace and Jake couldn’t wait to get it out and to be fair, neither could I. Both of them wanting to do something together at the moment is a rare thing.
BRIO Classic 8 Figure Set
Contents of the box:-
1 Train
2 Tender
2 Station
3 Trees
1 Crossing Bridge
14 Curved track pieces
Take the classic inspired engine out on an adventure along the tracks. Stop by at the all wooden station and continue along the figure 8 train tracks passing by trees and a crossing bridge. Lots of fun for the youngest drivers!
We love the BRIO wooden tracks, they really are built to last and will stand the test of time for years to come, something great to pass on to other members of the family too.
This particular track comes in a figure of 8, and really is a perfect starter track allowing your little one learn through play.
The wooden train connects to the tender pieces by using a magnet which is found at the back of the train.
The train is extremely well built and is also a great size for little hands to grasp.
Grace also loved the crossing bridge, and loves how it sent the train off looping round the other end of the track, at first she thought her train would just go in a circle.
Super BRIO play
As we all know, wooden train track fun is endless once you add extra sets. There are so many additional sets that can be purchased separately in the classic range.
We have loved adding our other Brio World sets to our figure of 8 playset and making the living room come to life.
What’s a better thing to do to spend a lazy weekend playing. There has been many adventures made with these sets this weekend and Grace and Jake have played.
We added Jake’s additional Thomas magnet trains onto this track and they fit brilliant and extended playtime.
Our Thoughts
We would highly recommend The Classic Figure 8 Set if you are looking for a special birthday gift. The 22 piece set gives your little one plenty to play with as you watch them play.
