Truth: whether it’s toys from BRIO or the affable characters from Thomas & Friends, kids get a little loco(motive) over trains. When riding the wooden rails doesn’t to the trick, indulge tiny conductors with a growing assortment of train-themed interactive games. Flip through our album to discover a stupendous collection of train-tastic apps designed to entertain and delight junior engineers!

Pocket Trains

While the strategy-driven gameplay of Pocket Trains is pitched at kindergarten-aged players and older, preschool train enthusiasts will dig the app’s super-kawaii pixel-style animated characters, and parents will enjoy the surprisingly soothing soundtrack that accompanies the games. Players are tasked to manage and grow multiple railway systems by hauling cargo to various destinations around the world. Pick up coins along the way and earn parts to construct all types of trains—from Steamers to Diesels—for completed deliveries. There are plenty of in-app ads and upgraded purchase opportunities, but they aren’t as intrusive as other apps.

Good for: Ages 5 & up

Free on iTunes and Google Play
