Preschool Picasso: Transportation


Transportation was a really good theme with lots of book and craft options. This would be a good theme for storytime, but great for Preschool Picasso/Toddler Art because there's more sensory activity options with this one.

I had some new faces join the group. We read Number One Sam, a cute picture book about Sam the Dog being in a car race. He's used to being number one and isn't sure how to feel when he doesn't win the race. His friends all love him in the end. I think the group really enjoyed this book and they were eager to start their crafts.

They really enjoyed working with sponges and paint for their airplane sky background and loved the foam car stickers, which we had leftover from a previous program. I'm always happy when I can reuse something we already have.

Everyone's projects turned out cute and it was nice to see the kids interact with each other.
