This week, our theme was Transportation. We had fun learning about all sorts of things that go: boats, cars, trains and planes!
Above is a collection of books, puzzles and other materials we used this week. There's a magnetic board for a collage, a puzzle maze, erasers to use in a sensory bin, books and a coloring activity. Below, you can see how we used some of these items.
I bought 3 little plastic cars at the dollar store and used a piece of a box (yay, recycling!) to create this craft activity. I just put blobs of paint on one end of the cardboard and place a car in each spot. Then I encouraged Bu to roll the cars back and forth to see the tracks left behind. Then we moved the cars around the box and continued to roll back and forth to make this fun painting!
Here is Bu playing with the magnetic board pictured above. I just let him place the magnets wherever he chose, but a more mature activity could be to sort which vehicles belong on the road, in the water and in the sky.
Lastly, we sorted vehicle counters by color, completed vehicle puzzles, and played a matching game. Bu then took it upon himself to grab pegs off his pegboard to sort by color on top of his vehicle flashcards. Yay for self directed learning!
