The Gas Station Stand lets your child bring out their inner race car driver, automobile engineer, or industrialist. This realistic prop encourages dramatic play and prompts children to create their own imaginary scenarios built around the panel. Kids can ride up on their bicycles, tricycles, or pedal cars and lift out the fuel pumps attached to the hoses. The “refueling” can also be done by a nearby friend for their pals who are riding by, which should build a sense of cooperation and help instill the idea of a working community. Giving youngsters the opportunity to engage in these kinds of role playing games lets them explore their dreams and express themselves. The Gas Station Stand works well as a solo installation or as part of a series of pretend stations a playground designer wants to use to build a whole themed environment.
