If there’s one thing that my boys and I both love, it’s an adventure. Even a simple trip to the park has the potential for endless fun with a bit of imagination. And to inspire kids and adults alike to enjoy new adventures, Thomas & Friends has four great tips that will help your family make the most of their summer!
Get Creative
Just because your little one wants to go to Mars doesn’t mean it can’t happen! We encourage you to bring your child’s wildest dreams to life with a little creativity and imagination. When they’re older and reflect on the special time you spent together, they’ll remember the work you put into making their dream come true!
All Aboard
Everything is more fun when you have your best friends and loved ones with you. Along with Thomas, encourage your child to bring their friends – real or not – along for the ride. Together they’ll create special memories that will last a lifetime.
Be Silly
When your little ones goes on their adventure, get into the action as much as they do. They’ll be thrilled by your participation which will work to enhance their overall experience.
Embrace the Outdoors
Special summer activities should absolutely include the great outdoors! Here in Canada we only have a few short months of outdoor time and they should be embraced. Encourage your little one to choose an outdoor adventure as it will create additional opportunities for exploration and discovery.
If you want to give your children an adventure of a lifetime, Thomas & Friends has partnered with Toys’R’Us to give you that chance! When you purchase any specially marked Gold Ticket Thomas & Friends item and enter the PIN online at www.toysrus.ca/thomas, you’ll have the chance to win a grand prize of a trip to one of three Hard Rock Hotels in Mexico or the Dominican Republic! No purchase necessary; for full contest rules, visit the website.
Thomas & Friends wants to hear about some of your child’s favourite adventures with its characters and help you have even more too. One lucky Mommy Kat and Kids reader is going to win a Thomas & Friends Daring Dragon Drop play set worth $45! To enter to win, just leave a blog comment about one of your child’s favourite Thomas & Friends adventures.
There may just be a few weeks of summer left, but that’s still plenty of time to fit in more adventures with your kids! Play a day at the beach, a quick trip to a nearby museum or even just a few hours outside playing catch. When it comes to family fun, every activity is an adventure for a child!

August 26, 2015 at 6:05 pmWe had a great Thomas experience at the Thomas Town at 6 Flags when our oldest was 3. I am bummed out that they don’t have Thomas Town there anymore – we are heading back to California next year and our youngest would have loved it! I think there is a generic train area now, but it won’t be the same as getting to see Thomas and friends!
