The BRIO Adventure Tunnel is a fantastic accessory that will make the wooden train sets even more fun.Shaped and coloured like an Alpine tunnel, the sturdy plastic tunnel has a realistic stone-effect surface and flowers. Open at both ends under brick-effect arches, with BRIO track passing through it, the tunnel interlocks easily with other BRIO sets. But the real appeal of the tunnel only becomes apparent once the 2 x AA batteries required (not included) have been fitted in the safely concealed cavity underneath. (A screwdriver will be required to open and close this). Just push the button, or pass a BRIO train equipped with the necessary magnet through the tunnel, and one of four adventure sounds will bring the tunnel magically to life. A very loud "toot toot" may follow or the echoing sound of a train rushing through a tunnel, or even sounds of people at work inside. Beware, however, though the noises turn themselves off (the longest lasts for around 7-10 seconds) they are very loud. Children will love this feature for realistic play, but for less enthusiastic parents there is an "off" switch. The tunnel also has a flip-up bridge across its top for use with the BRIO people (sold separately). All in all, this adventure tunnel is a novel, lively toy that children really love. It certainly adds another dimension to the traditional train set format and will soon become a favourite addition to your little station master's kit. --Lucie Naylor
 BRIO quality with bells and whistles!, 2001-11-21
My son saw this at a friend and nagged me to get him one. I must admit that it's given his train set a new lease of life as he plays with it at least once a week. It's one of the best accessories I've bought. It's got lots of different sounds and makes the train set more fun to play with. I would have given it 5 stars, but I was surprised it was made in plastic and brio are famous for wooden toys. Even so, it's very good quality plastic and still looks new after 8 months! Good value.

We got this for my 3 year old daughter for Christmas. She loves it. It is very easy to play with as the whole top comes off. The accessories are good fun too. Much more playability than the push and go car or drive and steer car as the figures come out.
Only slight criticism is that the awning on the camper van keeps getting ripped off, but it is easy to put back in again!

Peek-a-Boo - Where is the ball? An exciting toy for interactive play between parents and baby. Rolling around, it stimulates baby to follow within eyesight and beyond, and to understand object permanence. The friendly faces popping up make baby smile. SIZE 6 x 6 x 6 cm 12 Months +
Simply brilliant, 2008-03-08
This is a very simple little wooden toy but my little boy (11 1/2 months) absolutely loves it. It can be rolled and chased, but he also likes just sitting and fiddling with it, turning it over and trying to catch the little faces. It kept his dad quiet for ages when it first arrived too! It's small enough to pop into a changing bag or take out in the car, and infinitely preferable to most of the cheap-and-nasty plastic toys on the market. And best of all, it's quiet!

Colourful blocks, which children will love to unpack and re-pack. They will learn sorting and matching colours and sounds as well as associating sounds with size and quantity. Looking through the blocks, single or in a combination, they see the world in a number of different colours. This toy stimulates curiosity, motor skills and colour differentiation. SIZE 12.8 x 22.8 x 6.8 cm 2 Years +
Fantastic for your baby - stylish for your home!, 2004-01-22
Seeing this toy on Amazon it instantly stood out as bright, solid and different. I wasn't dissapointed when I received it via speedy Amazon marketplace seller Toytopia - a great and friendly service. The blocks are really well made with rounded edges - ideal for nibbling on with your first teeth.
My son was 10 months old when we bought these for him - younger than suggested here - but I think these are fine for babies of all ages who can wave their arms!
Not only are these very well made, but tehy look stylish stored on the living room shelves! Hey presto - no need to tidy toys away any more! Highly recommended for sound, touch and colour learning.

- The classic hammering toy
- Six chunky pegs and a hammer
- Helps develop co-ordination
- Made of rubberwood from sustainable sources
- Size 26cm x 12cm x 12.5cm
- For ages 18 months and over
Excellent for small hands , 2006-07-05
This toy is extremely versatile. It is not simply a toy hammer bench that makes a noise, but allows the child to pull the pegs out, working their pinch grip while taking them out and their wrist movements to put them back in. It can be used for work on hand function, sequencing with colours as well as for fine motor development. I have used it with a child with cerebral palsy and it has been so good I have bought one for my occupational therapy department to use. An excellent, durable toy that is easy to clean.

Excellent toy guitar for the under-6 set, 2007-12-26
While this is by no means a "real" musically-perfect guitar, it's pretty close, and certainly enough to satisfy your 3 to 6 year old guitar player. It's well made, tunes up reasonably accurately, and is durable enough to handle a few knocks. And it's pretty. My three-year-old daughter loves hers, and has already written several "songs." Recommended.

surprisingly fun, 2006-01-27
We bought this as an afterthrought because it was relatively cheap, but our 3 year old has spent hours running the trains past it to make it ding. Excellent value!
