| While they watched and guided me, I taped paper trips to the floor to recreate the roads from our map. Then we added the railroad tracks through the town. |

What a fabulous idea - i have often done this with purely recycled goods before. I find it sparks their imagination in interesting ways... we end up with a train, a party house, tractors and all sorts of creations that they have made themselves.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is a wonderful on-going activity, Jessica. So many valuable lessons learned here too - map-making, constructing, community helpers. You're so fortunate to have a dedicated space to set up something like this!
