Thomas the Train wants to play with you!

Thomas and his friends are having a play date at Toys R Us stores on Saturday, April 17th from 11am - 1pm. Long Island Toys R Us stores are listed here. Call to confirm that the store closest to you is participating.

There will be Thomas story time, games, trivia, coloring and free gifts. The play date is for children 3 years old and older. Giveaways are limited to one per child, while supplies last. Parental supervision is required at all times during the play date.

Mega Block Thomas & Friends Busy Day at the Quarry Play Set will be on sale on April 17th only. Here is a $5 off coupon.

This Examiner has gone to these events in the past and would suggest getting there a bit early because it will get crowded. Also be prepared for the store to have Thomas toys on display for sale. So your child may go into the "Mom I want that" mode. If you don't mind the chaos, your child will enjoy a great afternoon with Thomas the Train!
