An Indoor Roller Coaster?

 

We used some of the money Stella and Des received this Christmas to buy them this present called the Straight Shot.  It is basically a mini plastic roller coaster designed to be used indoors or outdoors.  The scooter cannot roll off the back because there are grooves at the bottom of the track to lock the wheels in.  The rider has to push off and then off he/she goes.  Since we  have a big space from our living room to the foyer, it was great place to set it up.

The kids just absolutely love this toy and have been very good about taking turns riding it.  Dada threatened them by saying that if they fight over it, the toy goes back.

Des initially needed help pushing off and Stella was more than happy to oblige.  After a few tries, he has figured out how to push off by himself. 

What do kids most love playing with when a new toy arrives?  The box the toy came in , of course.  And since this was a big toy and it came in a big box, the more fun it was to climb inside of it.
