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 is having our almost 4 year old grandson over at least once a week. We spend the day swimming in the pool, blowing bubbles, and drawing with chalk on the driveway.
Loved going on family adventures with my family when I was young.
Not sure how much of an adventure this is, but recently we have started a garden, both butterfly and vegetable/fruit. We just finished our second round of caterpillars, and now our Milkweed have been picked through (thankfully it grows back quick). We have located 3 Chrysalis, and are waiting for 2 more to open. It’s been adventure because my 7 year old has ASD, and she has never really gotten into something outdoors before. Everyday before ESY she has to check on the Chrysalis and the garden. She is enjoying getting messy in planting things, and has even declared that she will try some of things we are growing. That is huge for her because she has a g-tube and food and her are currently not getting along! It’s also been great to introduce our 3 year old into it. She is getting a great understanding where things come from.
Who knew gardening could be such an adventure!?!?!?!
Love to go hiking and explore new places!
As a family, we love exploring our local Light Houses. They have some amazing views we just can’t get enough of the beautiful views and hiking trails!
My favorite summer adventure story is the time I went camping for the first time. My cousins joined us and we told stories around the campfire and got in a lot of hiking and got to experience the beauty of nature firsthand.
We go Up North every year for a vacation on the beach! I love making those memories!
We live about 5 minutes away from the state park. We are always heading up there for adventures with the kids! Whether it’s a day of hiking and geocaching. A trip out to the rocks. Or spending the day on the beach with lots of swimming! Always find something to do up there and never know what type of animals we might see each day.
One of our favorite summer adventures is a road trip to see family in Alabama. We are transported to a different time, where the kids look for lightning bugs at night, share slices of fresh watermelon, and meet at the lake for a picnic. We love the little community parade, where families decorate golf carts, and wagons for the Fourth of July. Decorating our Radio Flyer is always a fun summer adventure.
When we were kids, summer was one long adventure. My large Radio Flyer wagon held several kids at a time and was often part of our summer adventures. Whether we were pulling it up and down the double driveway or traveling in the yard, we had loads of fun with my Radio Flyer wagon and our vivid imaginations!
