The company has also taken the classic toys concept beyond toy trains and brought it into the 21st Century with its innovative, “Network” line of rail toys. While introducing computer and technological concepts to children in early education the toys do not need to be connected to a computer in any way to play. Says the website’s Network page, “BRIO Network is an original world of rail play that features the imaginary creatures who live inside your computer.” The wooden toys feature a more modern look than many of the toys, but still are visually identifiable as belonging to the Brio brand. In one of the Nordic Countries, Denmark for example - the spelling of these wonderful toys are quit hilarious. The small cart for teaching kids to walk for example is called a Brio Gvogn. Cant imagine how this sounds when it is spoken. Never the less, a Brio Gvogn is similar to the Brio Toys that we know from the stores here in GB. Other toys in the “Network” line introduce concepts such as recycling and CD burning in ways that will still work with other classic Brio train toys and function on a simplistic level. This system also will appeal to modern children who are used to more electronically-oriented toys because Brio has added lights and sounds to this line. Despite this, the toys are of a more thoughtful nature than many modern toys.
