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

My best Summer story is 6 yrs ago. My daughter took me on their family cruise. I was excited, nervous and loved every minute of it. It started my cruise life and we try to cruise as a family every other yearm
We try to make every day an adventure with our three kids! This summer we have explored local parks, zoos, and our backyard! We try to do science experiments like making slime and crafts everyday. We would love to get our littlest a radio flyer, so she could enjoy bike rides with her brothers.
My favorite vacation was when I was 40. My Dad took my family to Disney World for a week. He really showed us a good time. We had a ball. Now, I am planning on taking my own children and grandchildren. Thanks!
My sons would always build ramps and jump their bikes into the muddy pond in the middle of the cow pasture.
The stories we share are continuing with the grandchildren! THe big fish stories are always fun!
One summer when my kids where 12 and 10, we drove my Jeep Wrangler from Houston TX to NYC/Washington DC and back over a few days. It was really exciting, wish we had stopped in the mountains we drove through but at least I’ve seen mountains now.
Hello! I’m a teacher, my summer adventure so far with my little man has included several trips to our botanical gardens. We love the trails and the kids garden with fountains and play areas. I love being able to actually spend time with my little dude. Looking forward to the beach, library trips, and the zoo this summer. ?
Our summer adventure is visiting a lot of local hiking trails. My daughter and I like to plan a route and a good trail that is manageable for both of us.
My son loves taking his Red Radio Flyer trike everywhere he goes and he loves finding treasures to put in the back compartment.
My favorite adventure was when we all went to a gem mine and sifted through buckets and found all kinds of gems. http://www.luckylakeva.com/
