Thomas the Tank Water Tower Steam Set Instructions

The Thomas the Tank Water Tower Steam Set comes with a real working water tower that Thomas can fill up at when he runs out of steam. The set is safe for children as young as 3 years old, though putting the pieces together can be a bit challenging. Set aside some time to properly assemble this toy set, and it will bring your child hours of enjoyment.

Things You'll Need

3 AA batteries
Screwdriver
Towel

Instructions

- 1
  Separate and lay out all of the train parts on a flat surface.

  Fill Thomas and the water tank with water. Water will come out of the bottom, so clean this up with a towel, and then set Thomas on the track. Turn on the power switch on Thomas, as well as the one located on the bottom of Annie. Place the toy on the track and watch it go.
- 5
  Teach your child how to properly use the train set by showing how water goes into the designated hole on Thomas, and not through the funnel where the steam comes out. Check for any loose track or other parts, that may derail the train or cause spillage.
