Indoor Car Wash


We have plenty of cold, winter days here so we stay in and make our own fun.  Sometimes we don't even get dressed!


For a month or so I let the kids bring in their tricycle and scooter and they ride around the house.  One day I thought it would be fun to add some interaction to their riding.  So, spur of the moment, I cut up a dollar store tablecloth into strips, stapled it to the top of a door frame (no one will ever see those holes) and we had ourselves a car wash!




They even set up a cash register on a little table with a tube from a rocket launcher and would stop and get gas there.


I got a little preview of my future as they kept asking me for gas money to put in the cash register.


Imagination is a great thing!  They played car wash for two days and invited their friends over to play as well.  And it only cost me $1.00.

Pin It!

  3. Wow, your creativity and resourcefulness in creating an indoor car wash for your kids is truly impressive! It sounds like a fantastic way to keep them entertained during those cold winter days. I can only imagine the excitement and joy they must have experienced riding their tricycle and scooter through the homemade car wash. The addition of the cash register and the rocket launcher Srd status check as a gas station is such a clever touch. Your ability to transform your home into a fun and imaginative play space is inspiring. It's wonderful to see how you find unique and engaging activities for your children, even when staying indoors. Keep up the fantastic work in creating memorable experiences for your family!
