My son is suddenly OBSESSED with all things transportation theme. He makes tracks for his toy cars outside. He begs me to add vehicles to his sensory bins. He even brought his monster trucks into a full-on painting project.

So when I needed to find an art activity for him that would also work on his fine motor skills, I knew exactly what I needed to come up with. These transportation arts and crafts for preschoolers fit a lot of his needs (pencil grip practice, big arm movements, and that bang! bang! bang! do a dot markers provide) while still giving me what I wanted.

And that’s cute art for my fridge, gosh darn it!

We developed these do a dot transportation printables with your vehicle-loving toddlers and preschoolers in mind. And the best part? These templates are totally free to our subscriber list. Read on for instructions (and to find out how to get those adorable printables!)

When my daughter was younger, we had a Monday morning ritual. We’d pour ourselves a cup of coffee and a glass of milk (you can guess whose was whose), sit down at the kitchen table, and look over the grocery ads that came in the mail. 

We’d look at the foods, talk about which ones we’d like and dislike, and sometimes choose a new food to try.

As we chatted, I had a bigger goal in mind- making my grocery list in preparation for our grocery shopping trip later in the morning.

Over time, she got less interested in having the same conversation over and over, and I started looking for a new way to keep her busy while meal planning. 

Armed with just scissors, glue, and a paper plate, we stumbled on a fun, easy-to-repeat, totally free cutting and pasting activity for toddlers. It’s so simple and low prep, but has TONS of opportunity for genuine learning experiences for kids.

So let’s take a look at how to turn those free grocery ads into a HUGE learning opportunity for toddlers (and get you a little peace in the meantime!)
