We absolutely love being a part of the Bigjigs #PlayPatrol. We have
already reviewed three items of the Bigjigs Rail range and were so
excited to receive our next item. We never know what we are going to get
so it's always a lovely surprise.
This time round, we received the Bigjigs High Level Expansion Set. As
the name suggests, this works best as an add-on to a track set but if
you already own some Bigjigs compatible trains, you could probably use
it as a standalone.
The set is comprised of 27 pieces; 17 pieces of train track and 10
girders of a different height. I have to admit that I got myself a bit
confused whilst setting it up (although that could be because I had two
excited children chattering in my ear). I made
sure that I had each girder in height order to make it easier for me to
know which one corresponded to the letter in the instruction sheet.
They don't go in size order so I think that threw me a bit.
Eventually, I got that track built and I was pleased with how sturdy it
is. Each girder has little grooves to hold the track in place so I don't
have to worry about the children playing a little too roughly and me
having to fix it over and over again.
Both C and E really enjoy this track because it's so different to any
other track that we have had. The circular shape is new, as is the fact
that there are two levels to it. E gets very excited and refers to it as
a "train slide" - super cute! She was also
excited to see the little plant and animal images on the sides of the
girders. These are made of plastic and I like that there are two
different textures to the track. They also add a bit of colour to the
plain wooden track.
I've found that the children need to focus a bit more when moving the
train around. If they take their eyes off for a second, they tend to
lose momentum so it's great for hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
They have been playing together with two trains most
of the time and using their imaginations to construct a little scenario
that is happening between them.
(We received this item as part of our role as member of the Bigjigs #PlayPatrol. All thoughts and opinions are my own.)
