Parent guides: Games That Build Your Child’s Skills, by Age: 1, 18 Months, 2, 3, 4–5 and 6+ · Kids' Gift Ideas by Age: Birthday Presents From Baby to 10+

1. Spread the nine pieces out on the floor.
2. Join them so the road sections line up into a continuous route.
3. Check there are no breaks where the car could run off.
4. Turn the car on and set it at the start of the route.
5. Watch it drive the road, then rebuild the layout differently.

• Working out how pieces connect so a route actually joins up
• Testing an idea and seeing it fail visibly when the road breaks
• Redesigning rather than rebuilding the same thing each time
• Large movements and floor play, which suits a younger child

• Build the longest possible route with all nine pieces
• Make a closed loop so the car never stops
• Take turns adding one piece each and see what layout you end up with
