Our PreSchool Blog

February was all about things that “go”! We learned about trains, cars, boats and airplanes. We created fun crafts around those different modes of transportation. Some of the crafts focused on color or name recognition, while others focused on fine motor skills, such as using stickers or tape to decorate cars and roads! Following directions is also something we practice at each small group time. Check out below some of our learners hard at work, creating!

Name trains:

Creating Cars + Roads:

Name planes! (names redacted for safety reasons 🙂 )

Transportation sort: Air, Land, or Water?

Hands on car activities! Driving our cars on a “road”, washing our cars, and parking our cars in their colored parking lots!

During the month of February, we talked about transportation and things that take us all over the world! We learned about trains, cars, bicycles, hot air balloons, and airplanes. We even took an imaginary airplane to the beach!

Ms. Kristen was the pilot of our plane, while Ms. Melanie and Ms. Kelsey were the flight attendants. They even got a snack and drink on the flight 😉

We also learned all about what the red, yellow, and green lights stand for! We practiced learning these colors and their meanings by tossing matching bean bags with the color on the “stop light”

Our alphabet page for our transportation theme was “R” is for “road”! The toddlers practiced their fine motor skills by peeling off stickers, and sticking them onto the “road” made out of the letter R!

We also had a fun sensory activity with our cars, having a pretend car wash in our sensory bins.

And because you can never do too many color sorting activities, we used miniature modes of transportation to sort onto our color mats!
