Thomas the Tank Engine says Choo! Choo!
If Thomas the Tank Engine is your child's favorite then load up on some fun with this Thomas party!

All aboard Thomas - for the best celebration of all!
Every little boy dreams of trains and being the Engineer or Conductor.  All the station master needs is a cute centerpiece, banners and cutouts. Add lots of balloon and crepe streamers then climb aboard for a fun train ride. Make sure the guest of honor has his very own Conductor and Royal Blue Bandana. Greet all your passengers with their very own train whistle.

Pass the Whistle

Everyone sits in a circle and passes the train whistle from one person to the next. Someone calls time or stops the music and the person left holding the Train whistle is out. Continue until there is only one person left.

Crooked Tracks

Draw a crooked line on the floor with chalk. It's "train tracks ". The object of the players is to walk along the "train tracks " looking at it through binoculars turned upside down. The player who walks the "train track" the fastest is the winner.
