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!
Radio Flyer’s founder Antonio Pasin started Radio Flyer in 1917 and his dream was to “bring joy to every boy and every girl”. After 100 years Radio Flyer is still committed to great design and innovation. Radio Flyer is proud to be a timeless symbol of childhood imagination and has become the most loved brand for kids’ wheels in the world

Our summer adventure this year will be putting my son in swim lessons and teaching him to ride his bike!
I remember the road trip summer from Seattle to California to Tahoe and ended in Vegas with a 14 month old. It was crazy but such a blas. This summer we are moving so we will be doing a lot of exploring in our new town
We love taking our radio flyer strawberry picking. The kids always come home stained with red juice but it’s such a nice way to get outside.
One of our best summer adventures was taking a road trip to Yellowstone National Park.
My favorite summer adventure story, would be when we went on a hiking trip! My kiddo’s are still little, but now old enough to take on day trips, so we decided to go on a hiking trip and had a blast! We found a huge turtle, saw some deer up close, and had an awesome picnic! It was an amazing day!

As a kid there are a few things that we did every summer, kind of as traditions i suppose. We always visited a local festival the first weekend of summer. My boyfriend & I went back to that festival this year and all the memories rushed back! It was so nice to go again.
When I was a child, my sister and I loved to put our stuffed animals and dog into our Radio Flyer wagon and take them on all kinds of adventures in the yard. We lived in the woods, so there was all kinds of opportunities for pretending were were on adventures to the moon, damsels in distress, etc.
This year money is tight, so I am taking my boys camping in the backyard. We have a small fire pit we will use to roast hot dogs and make s’mores. We can crawl in the tent and talk about funny or embarrassing things we’ve done. Laughing with my boys is my favorite thing to do.
I remember staying with grandparents for a few weeks during summer. My brother and I would ride bikes around town and pick up aluminum cans to recycle. My brother recently passed away and I cherish those summer memories we shared!
