Paper plate cars

Yesterday we took a sick/snow day (our daycare friend even stayed home), but today we are back on track with our Vehicle theme.We made paper plate cars in the color of each kids' choosing.

I'm still not feeling the best, so I let the kids watch an Umi Zoomi Helicopter episode (vehicles, right?), and we read through one of the kids favorite books for the 429th time. It's not so much a book about reading, but it lists various types of vehicles and the kids love it. It's called My Big Truck book. Amazon sells it for a great price, so get one for your kids too.


The paper plate cars themselves were simple.I cut paper plates in half and let them put entirely too much glue on them. I gave them pre-cut tissue paper squares that I had gotten years ago from Oriental Trading Co. 

When they were done putting those on I gave them windows, wheels and a bumper to add to each car and helped put them on. Sutton isn't always into crafts, but she seemed to really enjoy this one.
