Train Piñatas

At least once in their life, every child should have a piñata at their birthday party. And if their theme happens to be trains, you'll need to find a train-shaped piñata. With the largest supply of train piñatas on the Internet, TrainParty.com is the obvious place to shop. Fifteen choices are offered, each with a different theme, including Thomas & Friends, Little Chug, and Whistle Stop.

Train Toys Are Not for Children Only

Kids aren't the only ones who enjoy trains. In fact, many adult train enthusiasts get more excited about trains than their children do! Examples of the collectible and other Train Toys for adults offered by TrainParty.com are:

• Pewter picture frames
• Locomotive rubber stamps
• Lionel train signs, lamps, and pinball games
• Crystal, porcelain, and brass train Christmas ornaments
• 100mm Lionel Wind-up Musical Santa with Train Waterglobe (plays "We Wish You a Merry Christmas")
• Fabric Mache Lionel Santa handcar (Christmas decoration)
• Railroad conductor Halloween costumes (yes, for adults too - including hats and bandannas)
• Scrapbook supplies
• Jigsaw puzzles
• Games

Two items that are actually for children, but should also be considered collectibles by parents, are the Retro Wooden Train Rocker and the Railroad Wooden Rocking Chair. The Retro Wooden Train Rocker is a ride-on toy that your child will enjoy for years. Made of hard maple and birch plywood, and measuring 13¾" L 28" H 41"W, this toy is recommended for children over age 2.
The Railroad Wooden Rocking Chair is a unique chair that has bright colors, is decorated with miniature smoke-stacks, and even sounds like a train when the chair rocks! (The sound can be turned off, if desired.) A photo greeting card is included so the child can send a "Thank You" card with a picture of them sitting in their chair. This handcrafted wooden chair measures 29" H, with a seat height of 12½".
