[quote=Anonymous]Boys (and girls) like toys that move. Trains and cars are on wheels and they move much easier than pushing blocks or dolls around. You can push them by holding on and rolling or you can push and it will keep going. Add in the fact that many adults teach them to make noises (choo choo! or vroom vroom! or beep beep!, etc) and you get a lot of sensory input and learn gross and fine motor skills. For my boys, they also love shopping carts to push around and will push cardboard boxes around on slick floor surfaces for the same reasons.[/quote]
