little blue truck and lining up

 Story: Little Blue Truck Leads the Way by Alice Shertle

 Activity: playing with cars

We used this book to talk about being polite when lining up. This would be a great book for those first days of school when you are going over procedures. We used toy cars and trucks and lined them up. We even had a blue truck. We also went over ordinal numbers, talking about which cars went 1st, 2nd, etc.

Snack: little blue truck graham crackers

For our snack we made little blue trucks out of graham crackers, vanilla yogurt with blue food coloring, and blueberries for wheels. My daughter ate this up!
