Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends are on a mission — along with Mattel — to help kids feel comfortable with heading back to school or starting it for the first time. The Thomas & Friends Friendship Set is designed to help kids learn about making friends — and can only be obtained by winning a special sweepstakes.
There are five trains included in the set, each inspired by a different day of the school week. On Monday, Thomas teaches bravery and self-awareness. On Tuesday, Ashima embraces curiosity and social awareness. Wednesdays, Percy teaches kids how to be helpful and make responsible decisions. On Thursday, Nia is all about creativity and self-management. Finally, Fridays are for Toby to help kids learn about friendship and relationship skills. Each toy train comes with a unique daily prompt about their skills.
Parents will have until Aug. 15 to enter for a chance to win the set by visiting winwiththomasandfriends.com. Winners will be selected at random. Additionally, for more back-to-school train fun, Target will be offering a buy one, get one 50% off discount on all Thomas & Friends toys through Aug. 7.
