Gather an assortment of playground items that need to be taken in and out. Make the collection somewhat large and unwieldy – lots of balls, for example or some new sand toys. During outdoor time, show the children several alternatives for carrying them back and forth – a small wagon, a large blanket, several small buckets and a backpack. Ask them to brainstorm the best way to solve the problem. Give them time to experiment with each of their proposed solutions.
