Create a Car (or really, a vehicle :)

Another custom order that's turned into something I'll carry regularly in my shop!  This set is along the same lines as many of my other do-it-yourself sets, and this time the theme is vehicles.  If I were still teaching, I would love to see what kind of crazy combinations the kids would come up with by mixing the various vehicle parts together...  


This set is great for color and number naming and recognition, and could easily be used in a group time by handing out the pieces and letting the kids come up and decide where their piece could go!  You could also ask things like "If you have a red piece that is BIG, come put it on the board...or..If you have an orange piece that is small, come put it on the board."  You could play a color sorting game, and just have them bring their pieces to a designated area of the board, not building anything, or you could decide as a group that you want to build four vehicles--you could build the bases and then ask them to come put the wheels, windows, and other accessories on.  What a great team work project that builds vocabulary at the same time.  I love these sets as both a group time activity and for kids to use on their own...

  1. This is a fun post about getting creative with vehicle crafts! While a car is definitely the most common vehicle, there are so many other ways to think about transportation. Here are some ideas to spark your imagination:

    Take to the skies! Make a hot air balloon with colorful tissue paper and a basket out of construction paper.
    Go under the sea! Craft a submarine with a cardboard box and decorate it with colorful markers. Don't forget to add a periscope!
    Explore the land! Build a train with connected boxes and decorate each car with a different theme. Maybe one car is for passengers, another carries cargo, and another is a dining car!
    The possibilities are endless! The best part is using your imagination and having fun. Thanks for the inspiration!

Creativity and sustainability can go hand in hand!
