Joining in with Childhood101’s We Play series today.
‘Car World’ was recently constructed in my living room….
At first it was just a line up of cars, then it became some roads, then a bridge which, with the return of the Big Girls from school, turned into a ramp that flew cars off the table and into a tangled heap on the floor.
Then there was a request for songs…. car songs.
Take Me Driving…
Take me driving in your car car…
Take me driving in your car car…
Take me driving in your car, car…
Oh take me driving in your car.
Horn it goes, beep! beep!
Horn it goes, beep! beep!
Beep! beep! beep! beep! beep! beep!
Oh take me driving in your car.
Windscreen wipers go swish! swish!
Windscreen wipers go swish! swish!
Swish! swish! swish! swish! swish! swish!
Oh take me driving in your car.
And our own added verse….
Cars, they go crash! crash!
Cars, they go crash! crash!
Crash! crash! crash! crash! crash! crash!
Oh take me crashing in your car!
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star My Mummy has a Motor Car
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,
My Mummy has a motor car.
Push the button, pull the choke,
Off we go in a cloud of smoke!
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,
My Mummy has a motor car.
Traffic Light Rhyme.
Stop Says the red light,
Go says the green.
Wait says the yellow light
Blinking in between!

I don’t think I’ve ever heard that version of Twinkle Twinkle! Will have to try to remember it
Becky says
Love that version of Twinkle Twinkle!!
Catherine says
Sort of an organised car mayhem then? Somehow there always need to be ramps and crashs when the cars come out at my place too.
Thanks for the songs!
SquiggleMum says
Thanks for the reminder about the Twinkly Motor Car song… haven’t heard that one for ages! We’ll be singing that one this week for sure.
Julie says
I hadn’t heard that version of “Twinkle” either. Lots of fun to be had with cars.

I think i love nursery rhymes more than my daughter does!
Being 5 I get funny looks from her when i sing to her now.
Kelly says
It looks like a lot of fun!
Aunty Sarah says
I don’t believe the big white bus blows smoke :-)
Kristy says
Oh, how fun! Your kids are a creative bunch!
C.F. says

We do song adaptations all of the time! My children know I can make-up a song about anything! My daughter especially likes all of the singing. I also do consulting for teachers. A big component to the training is doing song adaptations with the children in the classroom. These car songs would be great!
Marita says
I love car world. It looks awesome.
Christie says
What great roads and as usual, you take the most beautiful photos. Wish you could teach me how to capture the light in the wonderful way you do.
Christie says
I just discovered your site and am reading through some archives. Could you tell me where you got that car town set? It’s adorable!!!
katef says
The roads are made by Plan Toys and came with a set of Brio trains a long long time ago. I know you can get the Plan Toys roads and accessories separately here in Australia though. Hope that helps
Christie says
Yes, that helps a lot. Thanks!
