Barbapapa is a character created in the 1970s by French authors Annette Tison and Talus Taylor, later turned into short five minute cartoons syndicated all over Europe. He's a pink shape shifting blob whose adventures mainly involve trying to fit in to the human world. Barbapapa has been brought to life by French traditional toy manufacturer Vilac, in the form of a toy series including this fun and interactive train set complete with interchangeable wooden rails, locomotive and wagons, characters, trees, and of course Barbapapa's house! Little ones aged 3+ will have tons of fun racing the wagons around the track.
