Train Noise

As the children played in the train and we looked at books about steam
trains we noticed that a bell sits on top of the train.  I had one hand bell in
my storage room and the children took turns using it.

They rang it and rang it.  Luckily it wasn't a loud, clangy sound.

That night I asked my husband if he could create a stand to hang the bell.

      This is what he came up with – fantastic!

A string is attached to the bell and is strung through the roof to the inside. 
                 It makes a lovely ‘ding’ sound.

           Choo, choo!  Ding-ding!  Off we go!
