Activity 31: Car Play
Age Range: 2 Years-Old on…
Area being Developed: Learning
Take out a collection of toy cars that you have for your child. Then set up a pretend roadway. You can make one with two long ribbons. You can also use masking tape. Parallel pieces of yarn winding throughout the room work well too. You can even draw an attractive road system on a large piece of paper. However you choose to set it up, enjoy pretend travel with your child.
Dr. Sally Says…
Buying road systems are great and making them out of connecting blocks is good too, but creating your own “playing field” is what will take this activity to the next higher level.
