Do 2 year olds like Geotrax and traintables?

I am undecided on this. The boys really don't show much interest at school. At their "school" they look at the train table for like 5 minutes and then run to play with the kitchen.

So here are my questions.....does anyone have experience with their kids not liking something in a setting like daycare/school etc, but really liking it at home? Or should I take their cues and not bother?

Also, does your 2 year old play with Geotrax? It seems like it would get boring to push a button and watch the stuff move, but maybe not?

My son has never played with Geotrax that I know of.  However, he loves his trains and train table and plays with it every day...and if there's one in a store that we go to, he has to stop and play with it there....for as long as I'll allow him too.  He's a train fanatic!

My son is 2.5 and he LOVES both his train table and his GeoTrax.  He asked for more GeoTrax for Christmas this year.

I definitely believe that many 2yos like the above but probably not all. DD does show consistency in the things she gravitates to at school and the things she gravitates to at home. Mostly dolls, trains, music.

DS is 2, he's getting a train table and geotrax for christmas.  He loves to play with the train table at toys r us and he loves trains.  and when we go to our friends house their little boy had geotrax and he love to play with them.  So i hope he enjoys both of them at home as much as he does elsewhere!

DS got Geotrax for his 2 y/o birthday and he likes it a lot.

He gets into play mode where he puts the trains on the track and makes them go and watches with interest. He also gets in destructo mode where he loves to tear the track apart. And he gets into creative mode where he makes the trains go over other surfaces (for example the kitchen floor, the couch or my desk). It's the toy he plays with the most (meaning he's been interested in it for 6 months now). We got a few extra trains from Craig's List so he has several to play with.

My one advice is to get rechargable batteries! Those trains drain batteries like you would not believe!

Geotrax are awesome.  They can add on as much as they want, they can push it around also, you don't need to use the controls.  We got those for DS when he was 2-3 and he is now 8 and he STILL loves them.  He can be creative with them and they don't break easily.
