Ways to Play: Build

Why not try creating your own train using cardboard boxes and tubes?

You could draw the front of an engine onto some card and tie it to the front of your table. Sit at your table and imagine you’re off on your favourite journey!

You could line up some chairs and imagine you or your toys are sitting on a carriage. Do all of your passengers have tickets?

Make separate carriages for your toys from smaller boxes and tie them together. Where do they want to go? Take your toys on a journey around your house.  

Can you think of some actions and sounds to bring your train to life? You could even try to make your own song!

Remember to share your creations with us. Tag us on Twitter at @StephensonRail, use the #Stephensonathome hashtag, or post them on our Facebook page.
