Maxim Wooden Toys
Wooden Train Sets
Model and toy trains are an enduring favorite for children and parents. While model trains focus on scale and precision, toy train sets such as the Lionel 145 piece deluxe train set by Maxim are all about fun. This set features a roundhouse for parking the set’s several wooden trains, and bridges to expand, connect, and loop your train tracks. The trains connect with magnets on the ends, and there are other vehicles that can travel the tracks or roadway. Farm animals, signs, trees, buildings, and figures round out this set. Children and adults will delight in assembling a vast variety of track configurations.
The Lionel 125 piece big city connection train set by Maxim is a terrific addition to the 145 piece train set and is a delightful toy on its own. The non splintering wooden pieces contain signs, figurines, and a wooded road track. Suspension bridges, a wooden gas station and cars, and trains that attach on magnetic endpoints are all part of this set, designed for ages three and older.
Wooden Building Sets
Children love to build, and the Wooden Tumble Tree Timber Logs 300 piece play set by Maxim is a terrific piece to encourage spatial relations, logic, and design skills. The set is compatible with Lincoln Logs and other similar log sets. Children can create buildings, houses, and towers with this versatile toy.
Wooden Play Sets
What child isn’t fascinated by pirates? The Maxim Wooden Pirate Ship is a fabulous toy for imaginative play. Complete with a parrot and four pirate figures, the ship is made of child safe wood and contains detailed pieces. Your child can play on the high seas for hours with this realistically detailed set that includes cloth sails and a wooden plank.
What child could resist a toy tree house that’s 3 and half feet tall? Maxim’s Toy Deluxe Treehouse has a realistic tree top, under which is a three level tree house for the 4 wooden action figures to play in. Wooden step ladders, pulleys, and furniture round out this set that is sure to keep your child busy inventing and playing out adventures.
Finger Puppets
Don’t forget how much children enjoy dramatic play. Children are natural story tellers, and what better way to encourage their story telling than through the fun of a finger puppet theatre? The Maxim Puppet Theater is made of non-splintering wood and comes with chalk, a chalkboard, and eraser, 4 fun finger puppets, theatre curtains, a story card, and storage area. Perfect for your budding dramatists!
The Mystical Wizard Medieval Finger Puppet Set comes with wonderfully imaginative figures from Puss ‘n Boots: a princess, a dragon, a wizard, and a knight in armor. These plush finger puppets fit snugly on children’s fingers with elastic bands.
Maxim’s Goldilocks and the 3 Bears Finger Puppets also work nicely with the puppet theatre. From the story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, this set includes 4 plush finger puppets that will encourage children to express their creativity through storytelling.
A World of Imagination
All of these fine Maxim products will encourage your child to express himself through play and will entertain children for hours. Even better, the sturdy construction means the toys will last for years, making them perfect for handing down to younger siblings.
