As I look around the apartment, I realize that I need to either use or get rid of items that have been accumulating. I have been keeping cardboard tubes, large cardboard sheets, and various items that I come across. These are just waiting for the perfect project. I can't wait any longer. I have to start cleaning out the various items because of our soon (not soon enough, sometimes) trip to 'Merica. Hence, the inception of car tubes. I taped (no easy task) the cardboard tubes to the IKEA step stool that we own and instant fun.
Kaleb checking them out.
J instructing him on where to put the cars. I was lucky enough to have two different sized tubes. This made it easier for Kaleb to find cars to roll down both tubes.
Kaleb and J spent some time rolling all of the cars we own down the tubes.
Then, Kaleb decided to see if other items without wheels would roll down the tubes. Some got stuck, others made it out. This was an easy activity that both kids loved.
I love this! What a fun idea -- I hope I can find some cardboard tubes soon :)
