Build a quick and easy toy car race track with your toddler
Your toddler will love helping you build these easy and super cute mini toy car race tracks in your back garden.
Looking for something fun to do with your little one over the long weekend? Why not build a fun garden race track? You don’t even need a huge garden with rolling lawns to make a mini race track. No matter how small your space, we have a nifty trick to help you build the racecourse of your toddler’s dreams. Read on!
Mini-car race track using a pool noodle
Cut a pool noodle or PVC pipe in half for an instant no-fuss dual racetrack. Decorate with it chequered race tape and flags. Voila! Let the fun begin.
Race track ramp using plywood
Now, this your toddler will love – watching his toy car fly down the ramp! All you need is flexible birch plywood (you should get this from Timbercity), a couple of stands, and a plastic loop-the-loop.
Semi-permanent race track using paving edgers
If you want to build a more permanent fixture, cinder blocks and paving edgers make excellent adaptable roadways that can be as basic or complex as you like. For minimal upkeep, fill the inner space with playground mulch or bark chippings. Use sand in these spaces to form mini sandpits, giving added sensory appeal and fuelling your child’s imagination further.
Cement garden race track
A cement garden race track is perfect for die-hard mini speed junkies and thrill-seekers (and the parent who won’t mind having this in their garden permanently).
