Road, Road

In this game we learn the notionsnarrow and “broad”. Let’s build several garages with wooden bricks. Now make a couple of roads of different widths with bricks, laces, skittles or pencils. And now it’s time to see if a doll can pass the road or if a car can make its way to the garage. If the doll cannot pass through the narrow road, tell the baby that the road is too narrow and the doll need a broader way.

The same way you can try to reach the end of the road with the child. The road can be winding, of different width and with different obstacles. Show the baby how one must step over bricks and other obstacles. Just in case, if the baby is not very good in walking, make sure that it won’t hurt itself.

At about 18 months, kids can also pass such a road on their toes, heels, sidelong, backwards, and leaping like a frog or rabbit.
