I love this idea! When we visit my sister at her workplace, a hotel, and stay there, my 3 year old loves to press the buttons in the elevator. We are off to make this craft right now!

We used to play elevator in out entryway when we were kids, wish my mum had seen this back then!

Must read – Alligator in the Elevator by Rick Charette. It’s a song too and I’ve never met a kid of any age that didn’t LOVE this song!

SOOO CLEVER!!! What kid wouldn’t love this activity?? When I was a kid I got stuck on a WILD out-of-control elevator— I still take the stairs… so my kids would really like this!

Such a great idea! My son loves elevators too and number recognition activities are great for him right now. We’ll definitely try this too.
I also love the traveling suitcase activity you posted recently. We have a trip coming up and I plan to do this with our son beforehand.

The simple things are always the best. I love that this is an open ended activity and as you said your imagination could take you anywhere.

So cute! Sounds like just the thing my little Laynie would do. We made a steering wheel the other day so she could pretend to drive while riding in the backseat of the car! LOL. Love your blog!

I love this one. Simple, fun, and a chance to get some learning in while keeping it imaginative. Thanks!
