Notes for adults

Age 2 · 7 min · Easy

Follow five vehicles to their garages by tracing dotted straight lines with a finger or crayon.

Learning objectives

  • Point to the vehicles and their garages.
  • Follow at least one straight path with a finger or crayon.
  • Join the conversation about vehicles using words, sounds or gestures.

What you need

  • Printed activity sheet
  • Thick crayon

Safety notes

An adult should supervise throughout the activity. Use a thick, age-appropriate crayon and do not let your child put it in their mouth.

How to do it

  1. Place the sheet and crayon on a firm surface.
  2. Point to the vehicles and name each one.
  3. Follow one path with your finger, saying, “The car is going to the garage!”
  4. Invite your child to follow the paths with a finger or crayon.
  5. Celebrate their effort and put the materials away together.

Teaching suggestions

  • Ask, “Shall we take the bus to the garage?” Give your child time to respond or point.
  • If your child needs help, follow the path with your finger alongside theirs.
  • Welcome scribbles and breaks. There is no need to stay exactly on the dots.
  • Talk about vehicles your child has seen outside or in books.

Variations

  • Make it easier: Cover the other paths with a sheet of paper and explore one at a time with a finger.
  • Make it harder: Invite your child to follow two paths with a crayon, choosing which one to do first.
  • Extend the play: Use a large open box as a garage and pretend to take an imaginary vehicle inside.

Talk about it

  • Which vehicle would you like to take to the garage?
  • What sound does this vehicle make?
  • Where have you seen a vehicle like this?

What to look for

  • Notice whether your child points to a vehicle or a garage.
  • Watch for your child following part of a path with a finger or crayon.
  • Notice whether your child joins in with gestures, sounds or words.
