Set up a drive through area of the parking lot for families to pull up and participate in the event.
Parents will pull up to have the Spot the Tot mat directly behind their vehicle.
Turn off car with keys on dashboard. Have their child stand behind the vehicle on the spots until the driver can see them in both their side and rear view mirror.
