this week’s activities, videos, and books, such as pictures from Samantha on a Roll or Mama Zooms
ramps with different surfaces, like a grassy hill or smooth driveway

ramps that run into obstacles
collages, or 3-D representations of their construction using crafts sticks or yarn to represent the ramps, and circles or stickers to represent balls
