So Santa Claus has been visiting with Garrett's parents about what the little rascal might want for Christmas. The Jolly Old Elf is considering bringing the little guy a train table and could use a little help in knowing if this is a good idea or a bad idea. St. Nick would love any advice a seasoned parent of a train table kid could offer. Mucho thanks!

We did that last year for Ty and it is great. They use it for everything, games, puzzles, etc. They don't, however, play trains on it very often. They prefer the floor so they can build HUGE train tracks.
Our train table has been in constant use since Santa brought it when Cole was 2. First trains, then dinosaurs, Lincoln Logs, Legos, ocean creatures - pretty much everything. We love it. He has the Melissa and Doug one from Magical Moon. I think Target sells a good one too. Good luck Santa!
PS - Any ideas for a 6-year-old?
Nat - if you have a place to put it where Garrett can walk around it go for it! If you have to put it in a corner it won't get played with. Also, if you get a wooden train set get the links that hold the thing together. I forgot what they are called right now but they are on amazon. They will save you and Garrett temper tantrums!
Santa (a.k.a, me) REALLY, REALLY wanted to get that for Tommy when he was two, but we didn't in order to save money. In retrospect, we've loved playing with the train track set without a table because it saves A LOT of space to be able to just pick the trains up at the end of the day and because it encourages the boys to make and remake the tracks over and over again in different ways.
Good idea.
But then what do I know!?!
Except if I were his age I would want one. heck I still want one.
Because you have so much space, I would say it is a good idea. We have had kind of a hard time making space for ours, but it has gotten used. (Often for the wrong reasons, which is why it has broken twice and is now held together by Josey's handyman skills.) The kids use it for plenty of other things besides trains.
