My buddy Mike utilized to take his toddler Miles out for Garbage truck Friday each week without fail. They did it for years. Their routine included picking up muffins from the regional bakery as well as complying with the garbage truck all over Oakland for an hour or so. It was something that they both looked ahead to.
I like this activity for all rookie parents however its particularly fun as a routine father/son outing; it includes so lots of things that toddlers love:
CarbsYummy breakfast
An simple excuse to spend time together
Quickie custom (see Crock Pot Monday or Fearless Friday) to provide structure to the week
Big automobiles (see range out some huge wheels)
A method to get somebody little to willingly go to the vehicle (ok, that one’s a lot more a win for the parents)
No infraction to the trash trucks in your town, however the ones in Oakland are sweet. They have long robotic arms that do all the work. If Mike as well as Miles had invited me, I believe I would have happily joined in.
Yes I have three sons as well as they’re waaaaay into vehicles, however I believe this activity might work for a lot of preschoolers. let me understand if it works for you!
