About this idea
A wheeled toy and a floor marked out in masking tape: a road, a corner, a bridge, and somewhere for it to stop. The child pulls the toy along the line while an adult names the destination — under the table, up the ramp, behind the chair. It is a walking, pointing and listening activity wearing a toy's clothes, and the toy takes the attention that would otherwise be on the child. Two children pull at once from opposite ends of the same road, which turns out to be a surprisingly good turn-taking lesson.
