Our focus of transportation has been fun this month in the toddler room!
R is for Road
Lacing and sorting with all types of transportation manipulatives help toddlers work on their fine motor skills.
We had discussion of all different types of transportation and watched a video of hot air balloons taking flight. This inspired a hot air balloon craft. Our centers have included all types of transportation manipulatives including sailboats with shape locking sails.
We had fun with a name building choo choo train. We discussed letters and colors and worked on name recognition.
We had fun with a paint sensory experience using the truck wheels to make tracks with the paint.
Dobber paints and stickers on transportation sheets help toddlers with one to one correspondence, color recognition, and fine motor skills.
Sorting by color, shape and size are objectives in the toddler room.
Our toddler class took a pretend flight on Creative Tots airlines. We practiced buckling our seat belts and staying seated during the “flight”. The flight attendants passed out a special snack to enjoy while looking out the windows at the ground below.
