Materials Needed

  • • Blue painter’s tape (1 roll)
  • • Chunky plastic toy cars or rolling figures (2–4 units)

Pro Tips

  • → Lay two long, parallel lines of painter tape across the carpet with gentle curves to form a roadway.
  • → Crawl alongside your toddler pushing toy cars along the road, making revving engine sounds together.
  • → Tape a parking lot grid at the end of the road so every car has its own parking stall.

Safety First

Ensure tape tracks avoid sharp furniture corners or tripping spots.
