The Toy Train pattern is 10.25" long. The pattern calls for 1/4" and 3/4" thick wood. There are patterns included for the wheels. If you prefer to buy the wheels that are 1". You will also need a 1/4" wooden dowel for the axles.
As always, make sure the toy is age-appropriate for the child. The wheels on this toy make it unsuitable for children under three years of age. The smallest part for children under 3yo is 1 1/4" to prevent a choking hazard.
Making kids’ gifts in your own workshop is a special kind of fun—there’s nothing like watching a pile of scrap wood turn into a toy that’ll get real squeals on Christmas morning (and yep, it feels pretty darn good. But right alongside the creativity is the serious part: child safety. Toys should always be age-appropriate, sturdy, and finished with kid-safe materials—no sharp edges, loose parts that could break off, pinch points, or anything small enough to become a choking hazard for little ones. A quick “who is this for and how will they use it?” check before you build goes a long way toward making sure your handmade gift is not only memorable, but safe.
