Our kiddos love cars, and we love finding new ways to play with them! This track building set goes beyond just building roads though – the possibilities seem endless! The smaller pieces make them easy to hold and snap together, and creates a more flexible, bendable structure.
Please see the introductory page here to learn more about the different play levels and which one may be most appropriate for your child. Included in italics are great sentences to use while playing.
Simple Play:
Push the pieces together. (Track. We pushed it together.)
Pull the pieces apart. (You pulled it. It came off.)
Push enough pieces to make a snake and slide it around the room while someone chases it. (It’s a snake. The snake is chasing you.)
Build a circle and take it on and off your little one’s head to create a silly game. (It’s a hat. The hat is on. The hat is off.)
Drive the cars around or put batteries in and watch them go. (The car is going fast!)
