Educational Benefits of Train Sets
Young and old alike can enjoy building model railways. Both parents and children can get a lot out of building and operating model rail systems.
The Hornby name has been synonymous with top quality model railway systems since 1920 when Frank Hornby introduced his first, clockwork train. This early model was powered with a clockwork, wind up motor. These were soon replaced with an Electric model that required a high mains voltage of 100 to 250 volts. Sensibly, by 1929 Hornby had developed a safe, 6 volt system.
Hornby train sets suit every level of interest, from beginner to enthusiast. Interacting with your children is enormously beneficial for them and a model train system can provide the basis for that interaction. It will provide stimulus for communication, promote cooperation and will be an effective aid to education. When parents play with their children they reinforce the parent-child bonds.
Once built a model railway provides a fantastic stimulus for creative play. Children can imagine all sorts of stories unfolding around the railway system. Add a few trackside accessories like model people and buildings and you can really bring the train system alive.
Play is recognised as an essential ingredient in any child's development. When parents play with their children it is particularly good for developing bonds. By playing with your children you will learn a whole lot about them. You will find out what interests them, where they have particular skills and what concerns them. The model railway system can provide a great stimulus for creative play. Watching children, while they play, is a well known technique used to assess child development.
Putting together a model railway system. He clearly enjoyed the process of setting up the track and getting the system working and his enthusiasm was infectious. He would encourage me to make up little stories about the people represented by the die cast model people places at the stations and around the track.
So if you are looking for a way to interact with your young children I suggest that you consider a little train set.
