	Train Themed Parties for all Ages
		Add train cups, plates, banners, and center pieces, plus train toys, videos, train music or sound effects on tape, and your party say "choo-choo." Remember not to go overboard with activities.
		If your child feels too mature for these activities, a more low key train party (favors and decorations) held at a facility (bowling alley, skating rink, etc.) might be more appreciated.
		A train party at this age is best spent running electric model trains (if you don't have one already than you have the perfect gift!) and/or visiting a tourist railroad.
