This provided hours of fun for my boys. During naptime, I put this together in hopes of having a peaceful afternoon. I wanted to be able to prepare dinner in peace. THIS DID THE TRICK. If you have painter's tape, a few cars, and in this case, some really cool blocks to create a city, you are good to go.
First, sweep the floor. Second, use the painter's tape to create roads. If you have blocks, you can use them for buildings. I didn't do this, but you could also use little animal figurines. Maybe make a zoo...just an idea.

| Here, Mattox is very focused on having one car yield to the other. We take traffic laws very serious in this house. :) |

Here, we talked about slowing down in a school zone. If the bus stops, all the other cars have to stop, so the kids can get off safely. Not sure why, but my son is very big on safety. We also covered the pedestrian crossing sign. Again, cars must slow down and stop to let people cross the street safely.

This is the overhead shot of the city. Yes, the blue blob is my attempt at making a park with a lake. It's obvious, I am no city planner.

Give this one a shot. If you have any other ideas to make this more fun, send them my way. I will be doing this frequently. Good Luck!
So creative Lauren! We use to do that outside with dirt and grass and make dirt paths for the cars and little cities in the grass. Letting our little minds just wonder....keep up the good work Mommy~
