Simple Play is Fun!

As often as possible, we have been following along with NurtureStore’s month of simple play, complex learning. We have shared painting, small world play, play dough play, baking, puppet making and more. For more information check out their main page for all the details. Today is paper roll drawing simple play day! We don’t do a whole lot of drawing here and it isn’t a huge interest for him. However, with the paper roll drawing challenge today, I thought it might be fun to give it another try. How to make it fun?

Paper Roll Drawing Simple Play Set Up

For our paper roll drawing adventure, I simply taped a long paper roll to the floor in the living room this morning, but I wanted to add a new element. I taped markers to some of our cars. Additionally,  I add more markers and dot markers just in case. What does your child like? Tis paper roll drawing is so easy and versatile to fit your child’s interests.

Paper Roll Drawing Making Lines & More

He enjoyed testing out the different cars and markers running them all along the length of the paper roll. He also used the black marker to draw zig zags for the cars to follow. Dot markers made puddles for our paper roll drawing. He even was interested in playing connect the dots with the dot markers. We ran the cars back and forth and all around. Not only just fun be we also worked on lines and following lines, so we had a bit of skills work too!  It was definitely a new experience for him with this simple play paper roll drawing activity!

Our finished paper roll drawing looked pretty cool. This simple play with a roll of paper was pretty fun and a great new experience with the trucks and markers. I am glad we took the simple play roll of paper challenge today!
