Ride and Play Scooter Activity
When M and M were younger I loved creating pretend play areas for them. Taking the pretend play outside was always a special treat! I’ll admit that stretching my creative muscle in that way is something I miss about having preschool age kids.
Teaming up with Radio Flyer to celebrate 100 days of Summer gave me the perfect reason to invite over a friend and her 4 year old for some pretend play fun! Radio Flyer is the world’s leading builder of wagons, tricycles, pre-school scooters and other ride-ons. For this activity we used a Radio Flyer Build-a-Scooter.
Radio Flyer has been inspiring imagination for 100 years! Check out this adorable Radio Flyer’s Travel Agency. It totally made me want to play!
Ride and Play Scooter Activity
What you need: Chalk, stickers, paper, toys, a little imagination and a scooter. Radio Flyer gave us a Build-a-Scooter to use. Awesome!
Our scooter activity had four play areas surrounded by a scooter track.
- Pet Picnic. In this area I added a few stuffed animals, a blanket and some pretend food.
- Letter Hop. For the letter hop I wrote all the letters of the alphabet for the kids to use for hopping.
- Chalk Art. In this area the kids could draw anything they wanted.
- Mini Tracks. Our little visitor loves anything with wheels so of course we needed an area for cars! I drew a few mini tracks and added some little vehicles.
Ride and Play Passport
The pretend play fun is in the details. And boy do I love the details.
I made a little Ride and Play Passport by cutting up a piece of paper and stapling the side to form a book. We rounded up stickers that matched our scooter areas (or at least came close to matching). Every time our scooter champion finished playing in an area he earned another sticker.
I’ll call this ride and play activity a huge success!

We used to go summer fishing.
We started our Summer in North Carolina hiking. We had a blast. We are Floridians (aka flatlanders) so the elevation and mountain terrain is completely different than home,
I loved my red wagon as a child. My sister and I pulled each other all over the neighborhood.
We just took a roadtrip for the first day of Summer. We went to a nearby state and enjoyed a different atmosphere by spending the afternoon near the bay.
We had a vacation at Universal which was our summer adventure.
All the way back to 1980, summer that year was great. I was 15 and the Texas weather was blistering hot. I went to The Texas Jam that year and saw some amazing rock bands, including Cheap Trick, Foreigner and The Eagles. I had a lot of adventures that summer.
A few years ago we took a family vacation to Disney World. It was our first time there.
When I was young- I visited my aunt’s farm back East. I thought that it would be fun to slide down this hill into a mud pit. The mud pit turned out to be a depository for the farm’s chicken poop. I had to get hosed off and shed my clothes while my mother yelled at me.
We have a great neighborhood for playing around in! Scooters, bikes, chalk, friends, puppies, neighbors. It is truly a ton of fun.
We love to visit the city beach via subway and bus. We always meet a lot of great people and see a lot of sights!
