Finn The Builder

He made it (almost) all by himself by Nicky P

It’s been well over a year now that Finn has been all Thomas obsessed and for much of that time he has had very strong opinions about how tracks are built.

For most of the time these opinions have been expressed verbally and with some enthusiasm. However in the last couple of months Finn has gotten the trick of fixing broken track and also adding a few new pieces.

Recently he has jumped to building entire tracks which are wonderful to behold. It doesn’t seem there is any plan in place before he starts (he is only three after all) and just adds his favourite bits (bridges, junctions and so forth) until it goes near a loose end and then he somehow completes the track. Not only is it less work for his train-exhausted parents but these tracks are varied, wonderful, and exactly what we wants.
