My preschoolers, Sophie and Xander, really love trains. We live in a very small town in North-East Ohio, and there are railroad tracks a few blocks from our house. When the trains come through, my little ones squeal and clap, and they swear that Chuggington and his locomotive pals have come by to say hello to them. It's really stinkin' cute to see their faces light up when we hear the train-whistles blowing.

Earlier this month, a brand new Chuggington DVD was released. In "Chuggington: Explorer Koko", little engineers will have a blast watching Chuggington and his friends on their many adventures. There is plenty of action and problems to solve, but teamwork and friendship always prevail. (I love that this show teaches positive values!)

In addition to the "Chuggington: Explorer Koko" DVD, we also received this awesome Chuggington StackTrack Koko’s Safari Adventure Play Set by TOMY. Sophie and Xander were so excited about this, since they love playing with their existing Chuggington train set.

In this set, there is an easy to assemble track featuring a jungle theme, complete with a cute little monkey swinging from a tree. How adorable is this?!

My kids really love pushing Koko around the winding track. (And letting this train go zipping down the harrowing hill!) Their favorite thing to do is pretend that Koko is delivering a bushel of bananas to the monkey in the tree!

But the BEST part about this playset is that since it is a StackTrack set, it can easily be combined with other Chuggington sets to make an even bigger track! There are many different ways to connect these tracks, so you can have fun experimenting with different designs. Sophie and Xander seem to like this set-up the best:

There's also a fun Chuggington poster inside the box, which Sophie and Xander began fighting over immediately. After a bit of parental intervention, it was decided that the poster will end up in Sophie's room, which she is quite happy about. (Xander got a popsicle, which is why HE is all smiles!)
