Transportation-Air and Sea

Book: My First Big Book of Things That Go
It shows all kinds of methods of moving around.
We will discuss transportation in the air and the sea. We will then sort some pictures to the specific category; land, sea, and air.
Math/Fine Motor: Number matching on control panel of an airplane. I will make the paper look similar to a control panel, number circle stickers and place them 1-5 in order. The kids will have their own # stickers and will place them next to the correct match. (For the older kids, they can try to place the stickers in order themselves and go up to 10).

Cognitive: Boat Bingo

Activity 1: Airplane-Have the kids fold a thin paper back and forth (this will prop the plane up so it sticks up off the paper). Have the kids glue cotton balls onto a blue construction paper. Then glue one end of the folded paper to the plane and the other to the paper. (Folding the paper helps with their fine motor skills).

Activity 2: Hot Air Balloon: have a cutout on cardstock of the balloon part. First, see if the kids can hole punch two holes on the bottom of the balloon. Then let the kids tear pieces of crepe paper and set them on the balloon. Next, spray the crepe paper with a water bottle filled with water. Pull off the crepe paper, it will leave some color! Next, attach a small plastic/paper cup to the balloon (this is the basket).
