Introduction
Train tables have always been interesting and entertaining for kids. However, there will come a time when your child won’t be that interested in it anymore. It will be a waste if you sell or get rid of it. So, what can you do? How will you get your child (and others) interested again?
To help you out, here’s a guide on turning your unused train table into an imaginarium train table. Imaginarium tables are not only for the kids but they’re also for the child-at-heart – it enhances your imagination (as suggested by the name) and it’s also a great way to bond with your kid.
How to Use (and Improve) Your Train Table
So, how do you make your train table into an interesting train table? Here are some of our suggestions:
Know Your Child’s Interests
Does your child like dinosaurs? Are they more of a car enthusiast? Do they like sci-fi elements such as robots and aliens? Is there a cartoon, movie, or TV series that they are particularly interested in? If so, you have to keep their interest in mind when setting up an imaginarium train table.
For instance, if they like prehistoric creatures, you could set up miniatures of dinosaurs around the train – kind of like a safari adventure! If they’re more of a space enthusiast, you can turn the train table into a sci-fi outer space express!
Be Resourceful
Most of us are aware that plastic and other non-biodegradable waste is bad for the environment. That’s why we encourage you to try looking around the house for items that you can use into recreating your train table into an imaginarium table.
You can use old cartons, boxes, toothbrush handles, plastic cups, plastic bottles, and more. By using recycled materials, you’re not only encouraging your child to become more creative but you’re also helping the environment in the long run. It’s also a great bonding activity with your kid.
Create Stories
One benefit of using a train table and remodeling it is to enhance storytelling. By encouraging your child to make up stories of their own using the train table, you are enhancing their creativity, which will help them later in life to make decisions of their own.
For example, in a safari adventure scenario, you can create a story with your child wherein their character is an explorer who wants to find a secret treasure. In a space odyssey, on the other hand, your child could take the role of a space hero who will fight bad aliens.
Conclusion
Using an imaginarium train table properly will help train your child’s imagination and you can bond with your kid better when you create stories together. And with that, we hope that this guide helped you out with using your train table.
