The Construction Kit

Construction season is just around the corner! I just love this little kit. With a small tool box, this can easily be made in just minutes. I printed road signs and protected them with laminating sheets. (Hint: laminating paper is sold at Dollarama). Next, strips were cut from a black poster paper, and I added yellow tape to create roads. Small construction vehicles completed the activity. Toy vehicles can be purchased at any toy store or dollar store. You might already have some kicking around.

What a great way for children to learn about our community workers and learn the rules of the road.

When children play with a friend, they can take turns getting the job done. An excellent opportunity to develop social skills.

Now, better get to work! HONK!

Hi! My name is Natalie and I’m an ECE. Yes I know...What is an ECE? I am an Early Childhood Educator. This means that I teach and care for children. With over twenty years of experience, I specialize in programming for school age children. My philosophy is centred in the belief that children learn best when they are having fun, and feel free to explore. I’ve always had a passion for teaching. It allows me to share my interests such as music, cooking and gardening. In return, caring for children has provided me the opportunity to continuously learn, and to become a better human. I am incredibly excited to share these ideas with you? Enjoy.
