Construction Trucks Grid Game {FREE} Preschool Printable

By -
Today's free preschool printable is a fun construction truck grid game!


I'll be honest...I love grid games! Rolling a die, subitizing, counting, eye-hand coordination, predicting, subtracting, statistics, one-to-one concept reinforcement, and more can all be wrapped up into a deceptively simple game. Plus, in this case, you get to talk about construction trucks as you cover them up!

Playing the game is very straight forward. Each player gets a board. When it is your turn roll the die and cover the number of construction trucks indicated by the die. When you cover all your trucks, you win! Keep playing until everyone wins!

I included two boards in this game: one for younger preschoolers with only 10 construction trucks on it (totally works as a 10 Frame too!) and one with 24 trucks on it for older preschoolers. You can even use two dice and have your kiddos add the numbers together to figure out how many trucks to cover. This, of course, adds in another math skill to an already awesome little game!

You can use any small marker to cover the trucks. We like buttons, pompoms, beans, and erasers. If you're really lucky, you might find packages of construction truck or other transportation vehicle erasers to use to cover each truck. This totally made kids' day!


My favorite way to store grid games is by gluing them inside a file folder game, and putting them in a plastic file folder box. They're easy to get out and easy to play!

Happy Educating,

Science Experiment: Elephant Toothpaste

By -

Update: "Elephant toothpaste" is a science experiment that I used to do with my high school students.  It is a strong multi-sensory demonstration that goes great with a lot of chemistry concepts. It is also very popular with preschoolers and homeschoolers!  The internet loves it too! It has now been read by more than 3.9 million people! This was the post that started the trend on science activity sites across the internet and "irl!"  Thank you for being here...I hope you enjoy it as well!  💕  This exciting science experiment works great in a discussion on reactions, as a demonstration, or as an actual experiment. We've also done seasonal twists with "elephant toothpaste" like making it in a pumpkin and using it for " reindeer toothpaste !" To use it as a science project, perform it once with your child, then ask your child what might happen if you changed the amounts or left out an ingredient.  Any time you experiment

This sensory lesson includes a kindness activity for kids that is short and sweet,  and makes teaching kindness a beautiful thing! Learning to use kind words with our friends is one friendship lesson that I think we can never cover enough...kids always need reminding (sometimes adults do too)!  You will need these simple supplies for the kindness activity: cotton balls, course sandpaper, cup, Should I Share My Ice-Cream by Mo Willems Directly teaching good friendship skills, like using kind words, serves two purposes: 1- You can refer to the lesson when someone forgets or needs reminding, and 2- These skills are not intuitive for all preschoolers. This is a perfect age to bring empathy and kindness to their attention and help them cultivate these skills! You can use this lesson plan exactly as I did it with our kiddos, or adapt it to fit your group! 1- Read  Should I Share My Ice-Cream  by Mo Willems.   {Image below is an Amazon Affiliate Link:} D

Crazy Cool Giraffe Science Experiment

Do you know what color giraffe skin is? Today we're using a capillary action science experiment to make our own giraffe skins in this fun giraffe science experiment project! (Read on...I'll tell you the color in a moment! AND I have a few more fun giraffe facts at the end! Anyway, go on and make a guess before you see the answer!) Fun Spot  Giraffe  Fact:  There are four different giraffe species:  the Masai Giraffe, the Rothschild Giraffe, the Somali Giraffe, and the Nigerian Giraffe.  Each has its own unique spot pattern.  Even more unique, every single individual giraffe has a different spot design.  Just like fingerprints on people and stripes on a zebra, spots on a giraffe are unique in every individual! Giraffe skin is mostly grey. (Were you right?) It's also really tough and thick.  The coat is a shade of tan with brown spots or patches.  Male giraffes actually get darker as they get older! To make our "giraffe skin" we're going to us
