My little girl loves to play with her construction trucks. It's the cutest thing to see her in her fancy Cinderella nightgown...playing with trucks! No gender stereotyping here!
So for this month's Poppin's Book Nook theme, Trains, Planes and Automobiles, of course we had to pick a construction truck theme. We chose - or rather I chose and she happily went along with - "Good Night, Construction Site," a rhyming bedtime story about the end of the day for various construction vehicles.
So for this month's Poppin's Book Nook theme, Trains, Planes and Automobiles, of course we had to pick a construction truck theme. We chose - or rather I chose and she happily went along with - "Good Night, Construction Site," a rhyming bedtime story about the end of the day for various construction vehicles.
To go along with it, I brought out this wonderful and versatile cardboard box my husband brought home. It's large and we've used it several times for different things, but it was just right for our own "construction site". Thinking Kay would like driving the trucks over roads, I cut out some black construction paper streets with twists and turns (even a rotary - New Englanders, you'll know what that is!).
Some smooth stones and glass gems and even building blocks added to the construction site. But Kay brought out some random little dolls (notice the retro toys - she found a bag of my old McDonald's Happy Meal toys!) and went more with a city theme.
We even threw in some cardboard boxes for houses (Papa from the Berenstein Bears couldn't be homeless now, could he?!)
In the end, I asked her if we should keep the roads I thought she'd be so taken with. "No, you can throw them away." Your welcome!
