Children's outdoor play products, like interesting books, are filled with various plots. On the basis of these storylines, the little director builds his original game scenario. And his parents can help him with it.
For example, there is on sale such children's play mat with the name "Traffic". It has a part of the city with its infrastructure: roads, sports fields, parking lots, buildings and other remarkable objects. Using this set, you can come up with various options for games. For example, playing a taxi driver or a late passerby.
If your toddler is more interested in nature, then you can purchase another version of the carpet, on which, besides urban developments, there is also a suburb with its villages and even the airport. The child can choose for himself who he is: the mayor of the town or the usual taxi driver, driving everyone to the right place in the city.
