My First Scalextric Review

AD - Review Product. 

When I was a child I always remember the year that my brother got a Scalextric for Christmas, he was so excited and spent hours racing whoever would race him. Being a mum to a little boy myself now I always imagined buying my son his own Scalextric set when he was older, as they are such a classic childhood toy. I had no idea that they actually had My First Scalextric sets which are aimed at younger children aged 3 and over, making them the perfect introduction to Scalextric for slightly younger racers. 

My two-year-old and three-year-old children were very kindly sent a My First Scalextric set to review. 

 Setting up the track was really quick and easy, everything just slotted into places to form a figure of eight which is 108cm x 61cm and just the right size for younger children. 

The set comes with two Rally cars, one red and one yellow which easily fit onto the track and come with matching coloured controllers, so two people can play at once. The thing that I really liked about this set was that everything is mains powered so you simply set it up, plug it in and enjoy.  

As mentioned the controllers are colour coordinated red and yellow and are mains operated and were really easy to use. My children have never played with anything like this before and figured out how to use them straightaway. 

If you have a younger car fan then I am sure that they would love this Scalextric set just as much as my children do. 

You can buy the My First Scalextric set from leading toy retailers for around £29.99 which I think is very reasonable for such a well made and classic toy that the whole family will enjoy.
