2. Use the cardboard to make ramps of all different sizes. Have the cars race, observe which go fastest, farthest, and slowest. You could even measure. Talk about why the cars did what they did. Have fun making guesses about what will happen and why.

3. Bonus - use the tape to make roads and parking lots all over the house

1. Grab tray, bowl or bin, mud, dish soap, scrub brush or sponge, towel and vehicles

3. Let children play with the vehicles in the mud

4. Once they are done with the mud, send the vehicles to the car wash. Fill a bowl or bin with soapy water and let the children scrub the cars clean
