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!

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!



My boys love to play with their Thomas wooden track set every day. My youngest carries his favourite Thomas train with him everywhere he goes.
My son loves Thomas the train !
We play with the wooden sets!
My son had the motorized trains and would build a track from room to room and write notes and tape them to the train and then send the train down the tracks, to people to stuffed animals to other trains. It was fantastic and adorable.
we have a bunch of the train toys and our guy is always making up stories about them.
We like to watch Thomas on tv when we have time.
My son would love this
We have found an amazing train set at a flea market type shop so we had a wonderful day trying to figure out how to build it, my little guy has gone through 50 AAA batteries playing with it
We love going on adventures like camping!
my son loves these tracks
