During their free play, the nursery children had shown interest in transportation. They talked a lot about cars, trucks, trains and so on. So we had transportation as our topic for January.
First, we talked about vehicles. We made several crafts about cars and played gross-motor games.
Then we planned a provocation that asked the children to use their imagination to make different vehicles. The children were amazing. They made really cool vehicles with loose parts.
This girl said that was a helicopter.
This boy made a helicopter as well.
"I made a car!"
Then we had talked about boats for several days. They had dramatic play about row boats. They also made their own boat with blocks!
They really had fun making the sailboat snack-tivity and enjoyed eating their boats.
We used scooters as our row boats and the children had a crazy row boat game.
The last week, we talked about rocket ships and spaceships.
We had a busy month learning all about transportation.
