Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
Two sturdy books and two full sheets of paper.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Adult stands two books safely with a gap between them.
- Lay one sheet across the top to make a roof.
- Fold the second sheet and try moving it through the tunnel; change the gap and try again.
Adult places and holds books steady throughout, then collects the paper.
