Let’s Play Scalextric - the best slot car set for children

Start your child on their racing journey with Let’s Play Scalextric, a set designed to delight and excite younger racers aged 3 and up. This easy-to-assemble track will set them up for a lifetime of excitement with slot cars.

Remember the high-energy Scalextric tracks of your youth? The unbridled joy of watching the cars whizz round the track? Now you can pass on that feeling to your children, with a beginner Scalextric set made especially for small hands.

Simple set-up

The simple figure-eight track features a plug-and-play system that even little fingers will be able to put together. Disassembly is just as quick, although we predict this will become a permanent fixture in your home! You can even switch up the layout with four different track configurations included in the box — perfect for keeping playtime fresh and exciting.

Durable design

The super-resistant cars are ready for a little rough and tumble, able to withstand whatever the racetrack has to offer. The one-piece shell means they are more robust than traditional Scalextric cars, while the bright colours and cool graphics will appeal to a younger audience. 

The lightweight hand controllers have been crafted with fine motor skills in mind. Great for both precise movement of the cars and helping your child’s gain control over their fingers, the simple slider design offers four speed options, so they can easily adjust their speed. Your child will soon be navigating their way around corners and racing ahead to victory.

The cars stay on the course with Magnatraction, which reduces the chances of cars flying all over the place. This clever magnetic system works even at high speeds and helps reduce skidding and damage to the vehicles.

Compact set

The AA-battery operated set means you won’t be tripping over long wires, while the compact size makes it perfect for smaller spaces. The track length is 256cm and the scale is 1:64, allowing your children to have plenty of racing fun.

If you prefer battery-free play, we also have a version that you can plug in, so you can choose the one that’s best for your family.

You’ll love the cute yellow and blue cars that fit in the palm of your hand, designed to capture the imagination of all racers, young and old. Let’s Play Scalextric makes for a safer play environment for children aged three and older, as they get to grips with racing for the very first time.

Educational value

To them, slot car racing is an exciting activity that captures their imagination and brings them joy. But while they’re having fun, your children are also developing other skills. Let’s Play Scalextric is a great way to build fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, as children work to control the slot cars on the track via the hand-held controller. It also encourages problem solving, as they learn how to get their cars to speed up and navigate corners and gives them a chance to practice healthy competition.

Our race car sets for children also offer opportunities for family bonding. Adults can’t help but get involved in this kind of play, bringing parents, children and the extended family closer together.

Spend your summer with Scalextric
