We created FOUR structure activities to percentage amongst you, too y'all tin plough over the sack notice TWO of the activities hither too TWO MORE easy structure activities over on the Melissa too Doug Blog.

CONSTRUCTION SENSORY PLAY ACTIVITY

Materials Needed: Dried beans, Dried barley or rice, pebbles, Round the Construction Zone Work Site Rug & Vehicle Set from Melissa & Doug, modest plastic lids too containers.

Playing amongst our structure trucks too sensory materials is ever thus much fun. To laid upwards our sensory play action nosotros rolled out our Construction zone function site carpeting too gathered our vehicles. We added a few other vehicles inwards improver to the roller, cement truck, too dump truck that were included. We also used some of the haulers from our wooden structure site vehicles set.

Once nosotros gathered our materials nosotros laid upwards dissimilar areas approximately the mat for the sensory edifice materials (barley/beans/rocks, etc). We also add together plastic lids too containers approximately the mat for dumping.

I didn't plough over the kids whatsoever specific instructions other than to endeavor their hardest to croak on most of the materials on the playmat.

The kids had thus much fun driving the trucks around, picking upwards loads, dumping sensory materials, too fifty-fifty edifice amongst them!

They also got to usage their diggers too haulers to ready clean upwards sensory materials when in that location were whatsoever spills at the structure site!

It was fun to run across the kids working together too this action also provided several opportunities for conflict resolution practice! The kids were SO EXCITED nearly the materials, play mat, too trucks that sometimes it was difficult to share, induce got turns, too function together. I joined inwards the play for a petty chip to assist model appropriate plough taking too conflict resolution skills too it was neat to sentinel every bit the kids got ameliorate at working out whatsoever problems every bit they played.

My favorite creation was my son's huge long sidewalk made out of pebbles! Adding some unproblematic sensory materials to our function site carpeting was a lot of fun. The mat is made of durable carpeting cloth too is stain-resistant too machine-washable. It is also has skid-proof backing that is rubber on all flooring surfaces thus it didn't movement approximately land nosotros played!

REUSABLE STICKER CONSTRUCTION PLAY

Materials Needed: Reusable Vehicle Sticker Pad, markers, newspaper tape, scissors, too a window.

We dear reusable stickers! We works life this awesome Reusable Vehicle Sticker Pad and ripped out the structure themed laid for Construction week! 

Once nosotros ripped out the structure pages nosotros stuck all of the structure vehicle stickers onto my sliding drinking glass door for a petty sorting project! We took some newspaper tape, cutting it up., too wrote the dissimilar names of structure vehicles on each slice of newspaper tape.

Next nosotros stuck the newspaper record on the sliding drinking glass window too and then tried to tally the names of the structure vehicles to the right vehicle. This was hard, but informative! We fifty-fifty had to produce an online search i time or twice merely to brand certain nosotros got the vehicles matched properly!

Reusable stickers function corking on sliding drinking glass doors too drinking glass windows!

After nosotros were done matching the vehicles nosotros talked nearly their names too and then the kids merely enjoyed playing amongst the structure vehicles too the play scene on the window.
