How to play
Before you start: Lay boxes on their sides so the open end is a garage door. Mark each one with a color that matches some of the cars.
Pick up a red car and say its color. Drive it into the red garage.
Hand them the next car and ask which garage it lives in.
If a car has two colors, let them choose and ask why.
When every car is parked, peek into each garage and count the cars.
Tip them all out and do it again faster.
What it helps with
Keep it safe
- Check toy car wheels are firmly attached for children under 3.
Make it different next time
- Sort by size: big garage, small garage.
- Sort by type: trucks, cars, and anything with a siren.
Cleanup: Close the garage doors by turning the boxes upright, cars and all.
