Mostly things you probably have at home.
- wooden blocksGet it on Amazon
Optional
- a book to make a ramp at the end
- a toy car to knock the first blockGet it on Amazon
How to play
Stand five blocks on their short ends in a line, a finger's width apart.
Tip the first one gently and watch the rest fall.
Set them up again, this time with ten blocks.
Try a curve. If it stops, look together for the gap that is too wide.
Let them set the whole line up alone while you count down to the push.
What it helps with
Make it different next time
- Split the line into two paths so it ends in two places at once.
- Roll a toy car into the first block to start the run.
Cleanup: Pack the blocks away in the same line, one row at a time.
