I have been inspired by Bellelli Educaion recently. They have a wonderful program that brings various cardboard, wood wheels, and cardboard tubes to parks and museums and invites children to create wonderful things with them. This had prompted me to have more boxes lying around the house for Miles to use his imagination. Today he wanted to make one of the boxes into a car. (Imagine that!)
He first wanted some paper plates to create wheels for his car. He counted out the 4 he needed for the tires and then said that he needed a fifth for the "inside wheel."
He decided that the steering wheel should actually turn, so we used a bolt and a few nuts to make it turn. (I helped him make the hole in the box.)
he tightened the nuts to his liking.
Miles then decided that his design needed doors and a windshield, so he drew on the box where he wanted me to cut.
Time to climb in.
Shut the door.
Time to PLAY!!
He even made his car have it's own racing number.
What fun!!
