Decorate tricycles or other riding or pulling toys for a parade. Some decorating ideas are: weave crepe paper thorugh bicycle spokes; tie balloons or streamers to handle bars; make a float in a wagon; hang noisy cans or pie plates from the bikes. Start a parade around the playground or down the sidewalk. Add marching people, rhythm instruments or noise makers to the parade. Play marching music from a tape recorder. Note: some children have no concept of staying in line or "following the leader" in a parade setting. State a brief practice time before decorating. This will help to alleviate confusion later.

It fun when you can get the parade going with as many kids in the neighborhood and invite everyone to pull up chair to watch the kids go by , and around and around
