Homemade Train Track Setup for Bathroom Use
==========================================================
In a creative twist, a young child has transformed their bath time into an imaginative journey with a homemade train set. The train set, designed to re-enact scenes from the beloved story "Blue Train, Green Train", is made from water-friendly craft foam and floats effortlessly in the tub.
The train set, part of the transport unit named All Things Train, includes an engine and carriages made from green and blue foam, as well as a track crafted from black foam. The child has taken delight in building a track on the tiles above the bath and experimenting with making a track on the sides and edge of the bath.
The engine and carriages are designed to connect with Velcro strips or magnets encased in waterproof tape, allowing them to link and unlink easily in water. The simple foam track or floating "rails" stick onto tub walls or float on water, inspired by sets like the Arabic Alphabet Bathtime Fun Set which uses mini foam tracks.
To add a touch of detail, suction cups or textured rubber backing have been added to some pieces, ensuring they adhere to wet surfaces. For decoration, waterproof markers or fabric paint have been used to add windows, wheels, numbers, or animal illustrations.
Safety is a top priority, with all materials being phthalate-free and non-toxic, suitable for young children’s bath time. To keep the set clean and drying easily, consider storing the pieces in a mesh bag like those included with some bath toys.
The child's playtime with the train set involves quoting phrases from the story, such as "up peeps the yellow sun, blue train Thomas starts his run" and "up peeps the white moon, green train Percy starts soon". However, an unusual request of "more bath" after the second time playing with the train set suggests the child was particularly fond of the set and spent a significant amount of time playing with it in the bath.
The shed, made from brown and green craft foam, adds a charming touch to the train set. The mother used a permanent marker to add further detail to the shed. Despite the child's initial displeasure that the shed doors did not open, the mother has made additional track, a sun, moon, and a shed for the train set before the next bath time, ensuring endless hours of fun.
This craft foam train set combines tactile foam craft with interactive water play and can be customized in size and complexity based on age. Commercial bath train toys or pirate foam sets illustrate how colorful, thematic foam pieces create engaging water-safe play environments.
