Big Wheels - Next time you see a large transport machine such as a harvester or a transport truck etc... count the number of wheels they need, and make one out of boxes with wheels drawn on. You could set up a road construction with boxes and cylinders for Rollers, cement mixers, and bitumen pourers.
Shape of Things - Using coloured blocks of different shapes, such as circle, cylinder, square, rectangle and triangle, see what other objects can be formed. Then using all the shapes you could make a very creative "thing" to use for imaginative play.

Camouflage - There are many animals that live in the bush and are well camouflaged, for example lizards, stick creatures, echidnas etc... How many can you think of? Then see if you can find pictures in books or magazines about these animals and insects.
Shapes Statue - You can also paint a round painting by using an old plate and going around the edge. A box for a square, and a paper roll for a cylinder. Collect these objects and make a shapes statue by putting them all on top of each other and decorating your sculpture with whatever you like.

Zoo - If you live near a Zoo, take a visit and see how many animals are there that you have never seen before. In the car or bus going home, you could sing all the animal songs that you know.
Cherry Pick - There are lots of machines that are used in a park to keep it in order. What else could you use a cherry picker for?
Cargo Crane - Sometime you could drive down near the large ships and watch the travelling crane putting the cargo on board.
