ToysRUs Thomas The Tank Engine Play DatesOn June 28, ToysRUs will hold the first of 3 scheduled Thomas The Tank Engine Play Dates at locations across the US. They will be giving out free packs of Thomas the Tank Engine trading cards and coloring pages, and there will be story time and play stations set up as well. Makes us wish we were a kid again!

The other dates for these Thomas play dates are penciled in for September 13 and October 11, 2008.

Update 2 An interesting offer from the comments below:

My name is Elizabeth and I work for Brighter Minds Media, an educational children’s software company located in Columbus, OH. I was wondering if anyone reading this would be interested in trying out and possibly reviewing one of our new games, Thomas & Friends: Special Delivery, featuring Thomas the Tank Engine!
If you are a BLOGGER and your kids would be interested in Thomas & Friends, I would be happy to confirm your contact information and blog site, and send you a FREE copy of the game. We only ask that you write a short review on your blog, or at least a brief mention. Our sole purpose for this project is to try and get the word out about the new game and generate some first hand publicity.
Here is a little bit more about the game, Thomas & Friends: Special Delivery. “Join Thomas & Friends on a brand new adventure across the Island of Sodor as they try to deliver some very special cargo. James is asked to make an important delivery to the zoo, but he gets lost along the way. Sir Topham Hatt sends a search party to look for him. Can you help Thomas and Harold find James and get him and the animals to the zoo on time?”
If interested, or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at elizabethw@brightermindsmedia.net. Thanks,
