Two new stories Jerry's writing and illustrating simple little stories to go with our Miniature Village buildings and they are only available through our online store. The stories are told in 8-page booklets on heavy stock in full color. The first two stories tell what happens during a typical day at the Merry Tulips Flower Shop and at the Fresh Fruit Stand. Each booklet comes with a high-quality print of the building in the story, ready to be cut out, folded and taped or glued together. See these nice inexpensive gifts for Meddybemps.com fans at the Meddybemps Store.

We were inspired by those little wooden trains! Because they offer children so many ways to imagine, experiment and learn, we decided to use little toy trains in a collection of new activities and games. We're building a whole new area, complete with Activities and Games, Railroad Facts and Lore, an online Train Store, Souvenirs, and something very exciting: the Meddybemps Miniature Village(TM). The miniature village consists of a series of buildings that are just the right size to accompany those wooden trains. They're free. You simply print them, cut them out, fold and tape together. This area will be growing over the next couple of months, but there is plenty to enjoy already. Visit Fun With Trains!
