    Fisher-Price® Thomas & Friends™ Cranky at the Docks Review

    Sep 26, 2017 · Modified: Sep 18, 2022 by Ali · 10 Comments

    Little Boy (3) absolutely loves cars, trains and tracks. He'll spend lots of time putting track together and running his trains along the track.

    We were recently sent the Fisher-Price® Thomas & Friends™ Cranky at the Docks set to review and he absolutely loved it.

    This Thomas Track Set came in lots of different pieces but it didn't take long to put together. After about 10 minutes I had it put together for him. I love the fact that the track is really sturdy and clips together firmly so it doesn't come apart when he is pushing the trains along it.

    You can raise and lower Cranky's crane arm and he spins around 360 degrees. The drawbridge opens so that you can let the boat through. It comes with a metal die-cast Thomas the Tank engine too.

    Without a doubt Little Boy's favourite part of this set is Cranky. He spends ages playing with the winch, pulling the cargo up and down, and he even detaches it from the track to winch other things up and down all over the house!

    Of course trains aren't just for boys, his sister (6) loves playing with this set too!

    This set is suitable from 3 years+ and has a RRP of £34.99

      I think my LO will love train sets like these when she's older. I know the husband will he's a fan of Thomas! I love how easy and quick it was to put together as kids tend not to like waiting to play with toys! x
