Now that the ground is covered in snow imaginative play has become a big part of our day. I love preschoolers imagination and their ability to transform everyday objects into something wonderful. Today we created an elevator in the back hall mudroom. Each floor held a new adventure waiting to be discover.
Since the mudroom does not have a door, I used a tension rod and curtain from another room. By coloring each number the preschoolers worked on both color and number recognition. I also love that it was super easy to set up and we used things that we already had. Fun and free, two of my favorite things!
If you don’t want to miss out on any of the fun we are having at Housing A Forest, make sure to follow us on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Goggle Plus and Blog Lovin'.
My kids always fight over who gets to push the elevator buttons. This is such a cute and simple pretend play activity! Love it.
This is awesome. I am definitely going to try making an elevator with my buddies. Sharing a link to this, too!
Love this idea! I just wanted to let you know that I included your pretend elevator on my blog. Thanks for the post!
