RC Car Racing

Date:  Dec 25, 2011

Thank You for those friends who bought my sons RC car.  Especially the one with Drifting capability.  :)

Being a parent, is not only say "Merry Christmas!" and help open presents for your children.  You got to be creative sometimes.  HaHaHaHa  Here is an example.

I seldom buy remote controlled cars for the kids.  But this year, we have two.  One for Kay, one for Jay.  So, how do we play with the RC cars.  Kay keep banging the car into the wall, the obstacle.  He was frustrated.

So, here is the solution.  First, build two straight track.  Using materials that you are familiar with, and you had at home. Say Tomy's plastic train tracks.  Ask the kid to build it themselves.

Then, tie a red ribbon as a finishing line.

Don't forget to put a small little ribbon at the center, to indicate this is a Finishing line.

Also, stick to the floor a ribbon at the starting point.

There, you have a very good car raching tracks for both your kids.  You can place the box there as a bumper, so that the car will hit the box rather the wall.

Ready, get set, 1, 2, 3, GO!

Kay Kay's car car is No. 1.

Then, you can just position the car from the finishing line so that they can race it back to themselves.

So, now they have the concept of

1.  Starting line.  Every one not suppose to start until I say 1-2-3 GO!

2.  Finishing line.  Race to the end.

3.  A race track.  Where you can race your car.  Cannot rack car anywhere in the house.

4.  When the car got stuck, go and grab your car yourself.

5.  When the battery of the car is off, means, you have to charge the car battery.

6.  What is a remote control.

Be creative.  Be Hungry!  and Have fun!
