This is a project that has three phases. Firstly making your background, then building your park and finally…playing in your park. Great for preschoolers who still enjoy knocking blocks all over the place.


Material

  • Tub blocks or foam squares
  • 1 Pre-made collage background
  • 1+ Finger skateboards or cars

Method

  1. Make a collage background. We wanted to do a more industrial theme but my girls decided to colour things in pink and orange.
  2. In front of your collage background take a tub of blocks and set up an obstacle style course with ramps and steps.
  3. If you have other items such as little plastic bins, cardboard box buildings or bottle caps you can add those too. We also use hot wheels cars.

  • My boys would love this. I’ll show my husband. Something for him to do.

  • I’ll have to bookmark this for when my baby boy is a bit older as I think he’ll really like this!
    Looks like it would be a lot of fun and would keep him busy for awhile.

  • Such a fun rainy day activity! Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy some largeish foam blocks for this?

  • When large items are delivered the boxes they come in make great play houses, etc

  • So much work went into that! How frustrating if bits get knocked over! I just threw out a playground my daughter made with a friend in primary school. They were very creative, did a good job

  • Oh amazing! And I can imagine it changing all the time as it gets accidentally knocked over and rebuilt. Brilliant

  • This is brilliant. The possibilities are endless as to the different ‘parks’ and themes that could be created. A zoo would be a good one or a Show – with ferris wheel, animals, woodchopping etc. Or a beach day out. So so many :) I love this.
