BRIO Toys Make the World a Better Place!
I have come to a place in my life where I'm choosing quality over quantity. It has taken me quite a while (and lots of wasted dollars) to come to the realization that you really do get what you pay for. I absolutely love it when companies give quality product at "quantity" prices. BRIO does just that!

About BRIO:
With a clean and simple design language, our products encourage and open up a whole universe of fun, where the only limitation is their own imagination. This is a play-philosophy we base all our products on, and it’s one that we’ve stayed true to since the birth of our company.
Each generation progresses a bit. Things change. One thing that hasn't changed is how kids learn. BRIO recognizes this and gives kids toys that fuel their creativity and pushes them to think outside of the box.
I absolutely fell in love with this company even more when I read how much thought is put into each and everyone of the BRIO toys offered to our babies.
“It’s important to distinguish between entertainment and growth. For BRIO, toys are not about entertaining or pacify children. A successful toy is able to stimulate the child’s imagination and be part of the child’s growth through play – even at different ages. Take our famous Toddler Wobbler, for instance it can be used to help the child learn how to walk. When the child is a bit older, the child might use the wobbler to store different objects. And later in the child’s development, it’s used to transport other toys. It should be possible to use toys at different levels as the child grows. We think a lot about these things.” ~ Daniel Mauritzson is a toy designer at BRIO
Here are some of the BRIO toys that we tried out. They each get a big A+ in our book!
My First Take Along Set:
Mama, are you thinking what I'm thinking? A toy that is self-contained = WIN! This is another hard learned lesson. Everything that comes in the house needs a home in the house. When toys come with their very own home, it just makes life better for everyone. This "toy home" is also part of the toy. Chunky little toddler hands can take their train on many adventures with this super cute Train set from BRIO.
Light & Sound Firetruck:
This is one of those toys that is almost too pretty to play with... almost. Junior would never stand for this cute firetruck to just sit on a shelf. However, it's so cute it will add the perfect touch to any playroom when not in use (which will likely be when junior is sleeping - because it's just so much fun to play with!). In my experience, any vehicle that makes noise brings out the imagination in kids, from tots to preteens.
Builder Activity Set:
This is the kind of set that my eldest has always adored. He's 14 and still loves to create with sets like this one. Kind of goes back to that whole creating a toy that grows with the child mantra we just read about. Sets like this really get the creative juices flowing. You can build a race car or a castle or a race car castle. The sky truly is the limit!
"Logic will take you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere."
~Albert Einstein~
I'd give this to my younger son. He likes race cars, but doesn't have the dexterity to put together tracks designed for older kids.
I like the train set - my kids love trains
These toys look awesome and would make great gift for the little ones..I love how colorful and durable they look.
I love these toys because they are so durable and my granddaughter and my grandson can really put some wear and tear on toys!
That Builder's Activity Set looks exactly like the kind of thing my son would love to tinker with. And I aldo love quality toys that he can enjoy for many years and grow with.
Quality well made toys that allow kids to use their imagination are rare these days. Thanks for the great information about this company.
I like how these toys use small motor skills and STEM type logic. My toddler isn't quite ready for them yet but I know it will help him to slow down and use his reasoning to put the pieces together.
I love Brio toys they are such great quality products and get kids building and creating something fun which is better than seeing them want to sit in front of a video game all the time.
The kids have always wanted tots from BRIO.
Brio is a good company. They have great products.
Brio toys last to the next generation...great value ...worth the price.
I enjoyed reading this because I wasn't familiar with this brand of toys. Thanks for the information!
I love toys that kids have to use their imaginations with, that is lacking in a lot of toys you find today. I find that both my daughters play with the toys longer if they can play with it in creative ways.
I love how kids can use their imagination with these toys while learning motor skills. Great for development on all levels!!
My granddaughters would like the builder set.

I love Brio toys and did not realize they have much more than just trains and track sets!

I love the fire truck. Their toys are made so well and hold up over the years. Any kid would enjoy playing with these.
I learned about the light and sound firetruck. The look and sounds of it makes it seem like a perfect toy for my daughter.
I agree with your "quality over quantity" outlook. When my son was young his room was filled with random toys that he hardly played with and they taught him nothing. I am now a Grandma and only buy educational toys such as these.
This looks so much fun! Kids can have hours of imaginative play with them.
I love that these toys are open ended, they invite the imagination. I also love that kids won't outgrow them for a long time
