BRIO World Play Table for Kids Age 3 Years Up - Compatible with all BRIO Railway Sets & Accessories

Product Information

These are excellent dimensions for young children, of course, as they allow easy access for play and provide enough space for bridges and even double track, but this is the extent of their usefulness. Both educational and fun, Brio’s uncompromising focus on design, quality and craftsmanship create toys of lasting value that stimulate creativity and imagination. Laminate is my preferred surface for a train table top because it is tough and durable, and as a bonus it is extremely easy to apply to plywood. The smooth, thin veneer means the plywood can be used as-is, stained or painted to a color of your choosing, or covered with laminate for greatest durability. They can either be laid on the tables directly, or glued onto plywood sheets that are also cut to fit.

For larger layouts, I recommend using 4’x8′ 3/4″ hardwood plywood sheets cut do a 3′ depth, and using the full 8′ width. For older children and adults wishing to create larger layouts, however, they are not practical building blocks.One advantage of laminates is that they come in a variety of colors, and it is relatively easy to find an earthy green tone.

Measuring 45 x 30in (116x76cm) on the surface and 17in (44cm) high, this large activity table is the perfect size for the youngest train engineers to build and play with their toy trains. A laminate trimmer is really just an even smaller, hand-held router, but it a less flexible tool for the money.Please let us know if you agree to all of these cookies by pressing Accept or alternatively you can change your cookie settings.

The designs rely heavily on short curves—the E1 curves and O1 and P1 switches in the BRIO system—and these track types are not prevalent in BRIO sets. This is rather large and will require access on all sides due to reach, but if your home already has one (or if you have the budget for it) then it is a great surface for a BRIO display as the table is nice and flat with plenty of surface area. For small layouts, I personally use two 36″ square card tables with a sheet of Wilsonart formica laminate in Hunter Green as a base.
