JDaniel helped me gather together a wide variety of vehicles from his room for this activity. We then matched them sorted them by color onto work mats I had colored.
Despite much searching, we didn’t find very many blue vehicles as you can see in the picture. We found only a few more red vehicles and one of them came out on his bucket of tub toys. There were tons of yellow vehicles. JDaniel had a contruction site birthday party a few years ago and I think that is where most of these came from.
After matching the vehicles to the right color on the mat, we counted them. It took four times as long to count the yellow vehicles.
I should have printed out smaller numbers. These were way too big for the vehicles.

That is a neat activity! My daughter isn’t really into trucks but I could see her doing this with a book about princesses. 🙂
My Reid would LOVE this. he is so into trucks. Vroom!

Guess he is going to want some blue cars now! Seriously I love the way you integrate books he loves with learning activities!
We do the color matching every now and then. My boys have so many cars, mostly red. It is so much fun watching them do this.

Love the car color matching!
Such a cute way to go deeper into the book. Love that. My 6 yo is obsessed with George Washington right now. I might just have to break out the pennies….
If I had boys these would be great activities for them.

How fun! My son would love both the book and this activity.

Oh, i love the colour match game. I’m working on teaching colours to the girls, so this activity is perfect for us. We don’t have trucks or cars (we should have) so I might use our My little ponies instead!
My little guys are into anything with cars and trucks!
Of course, I love this. YOu know that Things That Go are huge at our house!
the vehicle number matching game is a clever idea.
I love how you always find such cute things to do with the books you guys read. Awesome! –Lisa
