How to play
Lay long blocks end to end across the floor for the first road.
Add a second road that crosses it. That is the first corner.
Stand blocks up along the roads for houses, a store and a fire station.
Drive the cars along the roads and stop at each building.
Ask where each car is going and build that place next.
What it helps with
Keep it safe
- Check toy car wheels are firmly attached for children under 3.
Make it different next time
- Make a bridge from two tall blocks and a flat one.
- Build a one-way street and take turns being the traffic cop.
Cleanup: Every car parks back in its box before the city gets packed up.
