My almost 4 year old would like a "Race Track" for Christmas. Would this be a good one..or would he be bored? He has several other Little People toys.

Hard to say without knowing your son. My daughter really likes it, but she is only 24 months. I'm guessing he might like something more intricate.

The 3-4 will love to watch the cars run on the tracks for sure, but mom or dad will have to build it. It will take until he is 5 or 6 until he can build & manipulate the track all by himself.

I got this for my grandson for Christmas and he had just turned 4. He loves to play with it and so do I! I would say if you plan to play with it together it is appropriate.

I had a hard time finding cars that would work on this track other than the one that came with it. If you can find some that say "track", I would buy those.

I think this is a good starter kit. I would buy this, play with it some, and get a feel for what kind of tracks you like to build, and then buy what you need. I do find that my boys want to use the turn track and I always am wanting for more of the double female or double male attachments to hook them up to it. It only comes with two of each and you require at least double that for it to work out well.

I wish I could answer that precisely for you. The two brothers that received it from Santa were beside themselves with joy. If your little one is stuck on one kind of car - this gift will help him find a new favorite - I promise. They still thank me!

The boys turned 8 yesterday, but they aren't getting the stadium until Christmas. I can let you know after that what we think. OK? If you were planning to still get it for him for Christmas, I can't help you yet.

I don't know if u can make brownies in cars - but that sounds like a terrific idea! I'll try it for Christmas. The only thing I don't like about the trains is that my grand kids like frosting & that wouldn't work well. I also put cars on top of frosted cake & decorated like a track. Darling. I planned on making the " track " out of brownies. Your idea is better. Have fun. Be aware - it took me much much longer than I anticipated. (Didn't help that I made 2 trains & 2 sheet cakes. Put train on a board, used black licorice for tracks. So cute. I loved watching the grand babies swiping the candies off.

Go back on Amazon and you will find that there is a track set. We bought one so that our grandson would have extra track. It works out great.

there are a hot wheels track that you can assembly in 10 differents modes. it is very fun and my son, who is 4, play a lot.

I think your almost 5 year old would love it. It has play value beyond the age suggestion and would help spur your almost 5 year old into different types of imaginative play. My youngest great-nephew, who is 4, loves it. But his older brother, who is 7, loves it too and together they play happily for a few hours. If those 2 high energy boys can actually play together for a few hours, it makes me believe the toy has lots of play value. I hope this helps.

We did the same thing. We started collecting about 6 years ago for our oldest son and now our youngest is enjoying the trains. We collected pretty much all of the diecast trains. We LOVE them...however, there seems to be more tracks and set ups for the wooden ones. We have a small amount of plastic track that works with the diecast but there isn't much else. We are considering collecting the wooden ones now!

My nephew is now 15 months old has mastered this and now bored with it unless I sit down with him and engage him with it. If your grandson hasn't already mastered this type of motor skill task or you are reinforcing what he has already learned, then I believe it would be appropriate for him. If he loves to bang on things there is a drum set that is awesome and can be used in the tub. My nephew loves it!! ALEX Toys Rub a Dub Tub Tunes Water Drums

Thanks for your input Melanie! I agree wooden tracks seem more available. The wooden tracks also seem more durable than the plastic tracks because my son is pretty tough on his toys. Buying wooden engines & cars even though they cost a little more than the diecast.

Definitely not. My boys are older than 6, and they all love it. Since we have 3 of the sets, they have a lot of fun putting the track in different configurations. I think at 6, he would enjoy it.

My apologies; I am not sure. I think the Disney Pixar cars are very, very small and may be too light to hold on this track. I gave this to our Grandsons and do not see it often enough during their playtime.
