    Question A 10 month old and cars!

    One of my 10 month old babies has really got into cars. He is even saying the word car. He loves them, its all he is playing with at the moment. Any ideas on activities i can set up for him other than having all different types of cars out for play, cars in water, cars in sand??

    Any ideas will be much appreciated!

    How about visiting a car showroom thats what my friend did with her mindee who was obsessed with cars. she said the salesman got really excited when she went back a second time

    they went for walks out and spotted different cars - keeping it simple big cars, small cars and some basic colour cars - red and blue for instance

    in the garden they made ramps, used long tubes to roll them down
    car tracks in paint

    i get on really well with the lads in ATS - they allowed me and a couple of mindees a visit when it wasn't busy - using my car as an example on the ramps etc.

    Painting with cars to make tyre prints is a nice activity too.
