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”.

my story of flyer summer adventure takes us to the beach where my son used to collect hundreds of seashells and rocks then skip the rocks across the water and line the shore with the shells
Our fun summer adventure happens every time we visit my parents who have a small farm. My little girl gets to see goats, chickens, ducks, and much more. She loves to go visit all of the animals with her grandpa. It is fun to see her enjoying and learning about all the animals.
We like to take advantage of the lake we have access to by swimming, paddle boating, fishing, and picnicking!
Every year we go camping at the lake. My kids love to go fishing, boating and swimming!!
Two years ago my oldest son (4 at the time) and I headed out on a hike. We followed a path and kept walking. The path took us up a hill and the hill started getting steep. Then it ENDED. My son panicked but I made him finish to get to the top. When we came out of the woods I realized where we were. We were 4 miles from our car. My son was such a champ. We walked out to the street and walked all the way back to our car.
Since then, he is up for adventure but tells me that we are to ALWAYS stay on the path. Oh and anytime we hike into those woods we are not allowed to follow that trail again!
Summer story… I celebrated the 4th of July at the Oregon Coast for years and years and it was always my favorite!
Wagons! My kids loved and still love loading, pulling and dumping. Yardwork and groceries can get done more easily with kid help and wagons- keeps’em busy.
My biggest adventure this summer is when my Scotty runs out the front door when a service person comes.
we go to bushch gardens williamsburg every year and it is the highlight of our summer. we visit the water park and old colonial williamsburg as well. Great fun and memories.
I am not the most creative momma out there, but my kids and I love summer and we always do our best to make the most of this time each year. My daughter has had lemonade stands, yard sales, we took a road trip to WV, we go camping nearly every weekend, and we take a bike ride as often as possible. Some of my favorite memories as a kid were from being with my family in the summer so I am trying to pass those types of memories on to my kiddos:)
