Choo-Choo-Chug-a-Chug-a

We worked on this Train theme quite some time ago, (lazy mama) just made time to post this entry on what we've done on this theme now...
I've noticed the fascination that Tim had on trains...so decided to work on a Train lapbook with him. Took the idea on Trains from here... and I've lined up these books to read with Tim on the topic - The Little Caboose, The Engine That Could, Everyday Things...

I've printed some Thomas & Friends colouring pages to add into the lapbook where Tim could learn the names of the different characters and colour them.
The few activities that Tim enjoyed most out of the lapbook were Time reading, math game - matching the quantity to the number cards, colouring of different trains, reciting the poems & singing songs related to trains...

Above all else, he loved the opportunity to get out of the house and ride on the MRT train *smile*
***************************************************

An impromptu opportunity for the little one to build up on those fine motor skills... he was apparently very good at the peeling of the mandarin orange's skin (we allowed him to help himself with that all on his own)... but of course he loved eating it more... *LOL*...

Thanx for sharing.

Mummy was thinking of doing something train related with me too.

Hope she has time to do the lapbook with me.
