This calendar week nosotros are exploring our favorite books together with crafts related to vehicles. One of our favorite books is Freight Train past times Donald Crews. Since my kids dearest trains nosotros had a lot of fun amongst this unproblematic activity.
Last calendar week afterwards reading Freight Train nosotros decided to brand our ain rainbow trains together with produce some prototype every mo nosotros created them too!
Before nosotros started edifice our trains nosotros sang ane of our favorite rainbow songs together with talked nearly the colors nosotros saw inwards the book. Then nosotros grabbed our supplies together with started creating!
Materials needed:
rainbow colored cardstock rectangles, large easel paper, an engine cutting out of dark newspaper (we used this coloring page every mo our template together with traced it onto dark paper), glue, a dark marker, washable paint, together with a thick markerDirections:
Before nosotros started creating I cutting out several rectangles inwards dissimilar colors together with I also cutting out an engine for each child.
Next, I gave each kid a prepare of rainbow colored rectangles, an engine, together with a slice of easel newspaper amongst a railroad runway drawn on it.
We sang the rainbow vocal together with the kids tried to set their trains inwards rainbow colored monastic enjoin amongst the engine inwards the front end of their train.
Once they liked how their prepare looked hence they glued the prepare downwardly onto the easel paper.
Although nosotros discussed the rainbow colors together with the monastic enjoin colors become in, it was non my expectation for this action for every kid to brand a rainbow train. I wanted them exploring the colors, talking nearly the colors, together with learning to position the colors inwards the rainbow. The kids were welcome to construct their prepare into a rainbow prepare every mo well, simply I didn't state them that they had to.
Once the kids glued their trains inwards house them I gave each of them a plate of pigment (using their favorite color) together with I gave them a fatty marker. They used the destination of the fatty mark to pigment wheels onto the prepare past times dipping the mark inwards the pigment together with printing amongst it.
While the prepare crafts dried nosotros had fun playing inwards our playroom pretending to hold upwards trains together with walking around inwards a large line.
