Wooden birthday train / Handmade wooden toy train – Glückskäfer
A Waldorf inspired handmade wooden birthday toy train with rail from the ‘colourful shapes’ range by Glückskäfer. The wooden birthday train is 49 cm long and includes metal insets for decorative numbers, candle holder decoration or birthday candles measuring 1.4 cm in diameter. The birthday train is suitable for use from babies first birthday till the sixth birthday and features a train engine and 5 carriages in various bright colours.
The birthday train is a twist on the traditional Waldorf celebration ring and spirals which symbolise celebration of birthdays, family occasions, religious celebrations such as Christmas and other cultural events. The Waldorf pedagogy is thoughtful, has a strong emphasis on creative development, letting the child be in an unhurried pace and helps the child understand how to flow with nature.
The engine is used for the first birthday, and each carriage will be completed with a candle or a new personalised ornament until the child is six. Though the birthday train can be enjoyed long after the sixth birthday as well as cherished and played with on regular days. Each carriage and the train engine can be taken off the rail and played with separately. The birthday train is also a beautiful addition to toy shelves, a play room or to be featured in a window still.
Ideal for playing with at home, nursery, Waldorf or Steiner school, the range of Glückskäfer colourful shapes are crafted according to the Waldorf philosophy which is well-known to encourage children to discover creative play independently and without limitations. The wooden birthday train is coloured by hand with non-toxic water-based paints and is not finished with lacquer to ensure the original characteristics of the wood and the grain shows through. The surface of the FSC certified European wood pieces are left slightly rough making them fully stackable and less slippery.
The Glückskäfer wooden birthday train is suitable for children aged 12 months and up.
