Three toddlers embarked on their maiden road adventure on Monday in Jiande city, Zhejiang province.

The three naked children stumbled down three flights of stairs, walked along a 30-meter terrace, and continued down another three floors until they arrived at the exit about an hour later.

The toddlers - a 2-year-old girl and 1-year-old twins, a boy and girl - were seen walking along the street by a policeman around 6 am as he was having breakfast.

Before that, a grocery owner gave them each a lollipop.

The officer took the youngsters to the police station, where they were given milk and clothes while the police started to looked into where they were from.

Their mother didn't know they were missing until she woke up about two hours later. The worried mom hurried to the police station after being told by nearby residents that the police had found three toddlers and were looking for their parents.

The children were returned to their mother after police confirmed her identity.

The mom said her husband left home for work early in the morning and forgot to lock the door as she was sleeping.

"That might be how they got out and walked onto the street," she said.
