How to try it

Sit two children facing each other on the floor with a chunky toy car each. Roll yours to your friend, say go, and let them roll theirs back. Try a ramp from a cushion to change the speed.

Materials

  • Chunky toy cars
  • Cushion

Safety note

Use cars bigger than a toilet-paper tube with no loose parts, and stay close to both children.
