C is for Construction Trucks Preschool Action Rhyme

Before I had kids, I used to think construction trucks were a theme for boys. Boy, have I learned a few things! Our boys and girls had loads of fun with this action rhyme for kids!

In fact, both my boys and my girls have loved visiting construction sites, learning construction truck names, and playing with construction vehicles. All my kiddos love our preschool construction truck themes! My most princessy girly girl will even use construction trucks to "build" things like castles!

My kids all love to move too, so I have had a lot of fun working on these preschool action rhymes! The construction truck preschool action rhyme uses BIG sweeping stretches to imitate six different vehicles. This is great for developing large muscle control and coordination. I've also found that when kids need a sensory break, this is particularly effective if you have them lift or scoop a small (1-, 2-, or 3- pound) weight. It becomes fun, heavy work that helps kiddos refocus their energy and relax. And it's perfectly okay to do the same action rhyme three times in a row! :)

I made a printable version for you too!
