Tot School: Vehicle Theme


Don't forget to enter my children's book giveaway! 



Tot School

Jackson is 22 mos old. 

This weekend our local Moms Club held Touch a Truck, an event where kids could go climb around in and learn about different "cool" vehicles, like a firetruck, ambulance, bomb squad vehicle, etc.  Since I planned to take Jackson to the event, I decided that our Tot School theme for the week should be vehicles!


Books: 
Truck by Donald Crews
Chubby Tugboat
Wheels on the Bus 
Usborne books - That's Not My Plane
Construction Trucks by Betsy Imershein
On the Bus by Nancy Parent

Play: 
Jackson played with a lot of his toy cars, but the construction vehicles are his favorite!
 He also played with his airplane, school bus, and pretty much every other kind of car and truck that they make!

and his boats of course!

(His other pool was full of rainwater and was very dirty, that's why he's in this little one!)
  Melissa & Doug Sound Puzzle 
 Going for a drive in his car!


Art: 

Jackson colored lots of pictures, made a vehicle collage out of glow in the dark stickers, and made a painting by rolling one of his trucks through the paint and then over the paper!

Field Trip:
And of course, we went to Touch a Truck and had a great time! I have tons of pics that I will share in a separate post.

That would be a great theme for Noah right now... he's all about cars and trucks. Our local outdoor mall is having a Touch the Truck this upcoming weekend and I want to take him there too.

Cute, cute, cute!!!

I'd forgotten about the tire painting. My girls don't have any cars but I'll have to buy a few just for that. I don't want to mess up the Little People bus. LOL
