There is something about kids and trains. There is a fascination with the trains, tracks, the engineer and the passengers. It really captures their imagination and their enthusiasm brings out the kid in all of us. If you are looking for train activities, I’ve got you covered!

There are so many things you can teach with trains. The alphabet, as you mentioned, counting, geography (where the trains go), math (how many cars on this train if two were left at this stop), later science… Choo choo!

Trains always have had a interest for kids I think. My son had a little wooden train set and he really enjoyed playing with it. We also too him out to Train Mountain pretty often to ride on the miniature train and we also went on several antique steam train rides.
