Helsort Wooden Number Train Set – 11-Piece Magnetic Unicorn Train for Toddlers Ages 3-5

This 11-piece wooden number train set from Helsort helps toddlers ages 3 to 5 learn to count from 1 to 10 while playing. Each train car features a princess-themed design with unicorns, mermaids, or butterflies, and the cars connect with magnets, letting kids snap them together and pull them along. Made from solid wood with non-toxic water-based paint, it comes in a reusable gift box and works well for preschool activities, sensory play, or as a birthday gift for girls.

How the Magnetic Number Train Works

Each carriage is numbered from 1 to 10 and shows a matching number of whimsical characters. Kids arrange the cars in order by counting and matching numbers, then connect them using built-in magnets. This simple snap-together action helps children discover how magnets attract and repel, building early STEM awareness and hand-eye coordination.

What Each Carriage Shows

• Car 1: one unicorn
• Car 2: two mermaids
• Car 3: three butterflies
• Higher cars continue the fantasy theme with varied princess motifs

The colorful artwork and repeating patterns also support color recognition and pattern matching.

Built for Safety and Repeated Play

The train set is made from high-quality solid wood with smooth, rounded edges and a non-toxic, water-based paint finish. It is ASTM and CPSIA certified for child safety, making it suitable for toddlers and children with sensory sensitivities. The durable construction holds up to daily use in homes, preschools, or therapy settings, and the smooth surface wipes clean easily.

Ways to Play and Learn Together

Solo Counting Game

Children arrange the cars from 1 to 10, then count the characters on each carriage. They can also practice grouping by color or character type.

Group Role-Play

In classrooms or playdates, kids take turns being the train conductor and passengers, encouraging cooperative play and communication. The set works as a magnetic puzzle or a storytelling prop.

Sensory and Fine Motor Practice

Picking up and connecting the small cars strengthens finger muscles and develops fine motor skills. The magnetic connection provides satisfying tactile feedback.

Is This Number Train Safe for Toddlers?

Yes. The wood is solid and the paint is non-toxic, water-based, and free from harmful chemicals. Every edge is rounded and smooth to prevent splinters. The set meets ASTM and CPSIA safety standards, so it is suitable for children ages 3 and up. Adult supervision is recommended for younger toddlers.
