boy play: toddler roads

Like most boys his age Mae is obsessed with any and all trucks. His favorite? The garbage truck and fire truck. At his school they have these 2x4's that the kids can build with and everytime I pick Mae up he is building roads with them for the trucks to drive on.

Well earlier this week in the great Pacific Northwest it was still pouring rain, regardless of it being July. Since we were stuck inside we decided to make a road. Unfortunately we don't have cool 2x4's but we do have tons of books.

So we built a city. 

 Roads.

 Recycle cans. 

 Buildings on fire. 

 And even a monster, or so he was dubbed as he destroyed city roads.

 One more idea to add to your repertoire of rainy day activities.
