Our recent activity using this cardboard was a super hit with LO. He liked it so much and even showed interest to help me while making this box. We do something or the other with the package boxes before we through them out to the trash. This time I thought to make a tunnel for the train track and finally ended up in making other stuffs. It was all because of LO(!)😊,usually when I start to make something, I use to have a plan in mind, and start the work. But LO throws in a point or he requests for a small add-on, which would completely change my plan and evolve into an entirely new idea! This activity is such a kind!
LO helped me in gluing and writing stuffs. Keep the knife out of kid's reach.
I made all the pencil markings and LO turned them to markers. And Kids can also contribute by coloring with the crayons.
We made a Police Station and Car wash on one side.
Fire Station and Hospital on the other side. LO badly wanted to make a school, but we didn't have any school bus in our vehicle collection so I avoided it.
On the top of the box, we made just a highway kinda setup, with gas station, sign boards, trees.. etc.
He collected all the appropriate vehicles along with the figurines!
We made a tunnel for the train (which was my actual plan!), finally..😀
This was be absolutely fun. LO helped me in coloring, writing and gluing. I'm sure LO would have felt a sense of achievement!! 😃
The best part was LO's patience...! He was patient enough to wait until I captured all the snaps!!
Please try out this activity with your kids during this summer and let me know how it came out. You can customize the box according to your needs, based on the availability of the vehicles, and importantly your kids' choice!!
Happy Parenting!! 😊😊😊
