What can you do with large piece of paper a felt pen and a bucket of cars?
Create a city for the cars to drive on.
This activity takes no time at all and gives children hours of fun, stemed from their own ideas.
I sat down with my child and began a story that I ask him to continue.
While telling the story I drew the pictures on the piece of paper .
By the end of the story there was a whole town drawn on the paper that he could then use to drive his vehicles around on.
This can be created from any story told and can also incorporate any type of toys to use upon the paper. Eg. Horses and princesses, Pirates and sea scene. etc.
The picture attached does not do the experience justice , but as you can see from the picture the map is well loved!!!
This experience encourages, fine motor, creative, social and cognitive development. Older children can draw their own scene!
