Which Thomas & Friends Trains fit Munchy Play Plates?

Munchy Play plates feature a built-in track measuring 4cm wide - the size of a standard size track. This can accommodate most toy trains, including ALL Thomas & Friends™ Trackmaster engines.

Guide to the different Thomas & Friends engines

Here's a quick guide to Trackmaster engines - suitable for children 3years+. Toy trains can help develop gross motor and sensory skills, and help inspire imaginations.

Motorised trains

These are the biggest in the Trackmaster range. The new motorised Thomas train comes with a trailer to pull-along. This is a battery-powered toy train and requires 2 x AAA batteries. The engine includes connectors to attach other push-along or motorised engines.

Push-along

Push-along trains require no batteries and are easy for little hands to push around. These diecast metal engines include connectors for attaching to other engines (20.2L x 4.1W x 7.2H cm).

MINIS

The smallest in the range, MINIS fit on the tracks, but are not flush. We do not recommend using small engines with our tracks, as they may present a choking hazard. ( 1.9 x 9 x 1.2.)

Which trains do you sell?

We offer a wide range of trains to add-on to your order to bring your kids' plate to life. This includes: Thomas, James, Percy and Nia engines.

These are also available to add-on separately here >> Discounts cannot be applied to individual engines.

About Munchy Play

Munchy Play® is a family-run business, founded by a mum to bring fun to dining. Our kids' plates feature a built-in track, including the new Hot Wheels™Car Plate and Thomas & Friends™ Plate set collection.

How it began...

"It was another typical day in the life of being a parent, when my fussy eater toddler was having a mealtime meltdown. Reaching out for his favourite toy train, I fashioned a track around his kids' bowl and that's where it all began. Inspired by its success, I set out to create the first kids’ plate with a built-in track, that would excite children about dining."
