Do you have Matchbox Cars in your Daycare Area?

[MommyMuffin]

I have those and construction vehicles etc but I keep them along with other small animals and such in a medium size snap bin on the top shelf not reachable by the kids. That way when the kids all want to play together (age groups) I have a common item of interest. I sit right with them during the time the play with anything from that bin tho. We make ramps from paper towel tubes and garages from kleenex boxes among other things just to help the kids use their imaginations with other common household object besides toys.

I have a DCB who loves cars. What a wonderful idea with the kleenex boxes and paper towel tubes. Will definetly be using this idea. Thanks.

OP I let them all play with them.

My matchbox cars are from my sons ages 24 and 22. I have never had a wheel come off of one of them!! I am aware they are considered a choking risk though!

I used to allow them only to my older kids, but now I allow them for everyone. I tried and tried to get the wheels off, with my mouth, pulling and everything and nothing even came loose.
