transport infrastructure

building the great transport infrastructure

road making essentially

just what you have got to have when your 

Daddy works for a transport company

front & back strips

one a road colour & the other heavy traffic

sewn together length-ways

zebra crossing b&w striped fabric

binding on the ends

then some quick hand stitching 

in a chunky pearle thread to mark the divided lanes

ready for play time

assemble in what ever format you wish

easy to roll up to take somewhere

or do what Oscar does with them & spend time in the kitchen 

threading them through the drawer handles!!?

here's some more infrastructure at the ready

when you have roads you need city blocks hey!

these are mini play mats

to be played with however which ever way the heart desires

scraps in some kind of patchwork wonder of log cabin

cute backing fabrics

then add binding ...

pretend you have a birds eye view 

now can you see it?

or use them to play with the animals 

or whatever suits ... etc

i've also made a couple of larger play mats

with the aim to encourage play within that space to 

create a focus & therefore room to imagine

its very Montessori really... with a burst of colour added

they're each made using 2 fat quarters ...

front & back

basically they are a whole cloth mini quilt

easy ... just make great fabric choices!

or better yet involved your child in these choices 

so there is a sense of ownership!
