make a racetrackMake a racetrack out of a shower curtain:

This is so simple and the kids can help you make it and it will keep them entertained for hours on end! (I even had this set up as a “Station” on our son’s birthday party.

Just buy a vinyl shower curtain – a cheap one will work fine. (check the Dollar Store or Wal-mart) A sturdier one will last longer.

Take two sharpies and tape them to a cup (if you want a wider road, use a wider cup)make perfectly spaced lines

Decide on a plan: what do you want to add?
A Farm & Zoo?003
A few of your favorite places? race track

Have fun! Let your kids help you color – I let mine use crayons. They also helped me to decide what we needed to add (fish at the lake, a swingset at the play ground).

It is fun & you can add so many things to it!! We currently have it set up next to a log cabin built out of lincoln logs and a farm by Fisher Price. They “drive” to these places & play there!

  1. Brilliant idea!!! We might try a track/town on an old sheet. LOVE making the equally spaced roads by taping writing instruments on a cup. So smart! Thank you!!

    1. SO glad it will work for you. (A pop/soda can works well, too.). Great idea using an old sheet!

  2. A cool idea! My son would love getting to “design” his own town! I have used painters tape on the floor to make tracks and he thinks that is fun!

    1. Our older boys have made their own & love it! Good idea on the painters tape- I’ll have to try that!

  3. The kids loved the idea as soon as I showed them your pictures, and I think they made it the very next day!! 🙂 We did end up using use an old sheet. It doesn’t stay flat very well on its own, but they taped the corners to the floor & that works pretty well. 🙂 What fun; thanks again!
