How to try it
Take an elevator up and down a few floors in a shop or library. Let your toddler press the button when you lift them to it, then watch the doors close and open.
Materials
No special materials listed.
Safety note
Hold your toddler's hand or keep them in your arms, keep fingers clear of the doors, and use the elevator rather than an escalator.
Review this idea in your private family planner before saving.
