Tried paper with LEGO again.

Sorta works but found it's tricky for little hands.

Wish I had the 'MUJI' LEGO contraption from a decade ago.

Tips welcome.

Somebody brought in a toy truck today. 🚛

Learners were wondering if it travel all the way across the LLC with one push. 🤔

A dozen ramps later & a little teamwork...success! 🏆
