Contact_FullName: Laura Contact_Email: Laurabm626@aol.com Area: Transportation, school-snack Idea: Use a Twinkie, frosting and mini Oreo's to create a school bus. Use the frosting as glue to hold on the Oreo wheels. Contact_FullName: Belinda Contact_Email: Bellenotte26@aol.com Area: Transportation Snacks Idea: Graham Cracker Stop Lights First give each child a graham cracker. Next give them 3 individual cups with a spoonful or two of white frosting. Discuss the colors of a stoplight and put 2-3 drops of the corresponding colors in each cup. Red, yellow and green food coloring. Have the children mix the frosting and the food coloring. Next spread the colored frosting on the 3 individual sections of the graham cracker. Voila! You have a very tasty stoplight. 6-4-00Boats Cut a few oranges or grapefruits in half. Hollow them out and eat the insides. Meanwhile, make up a batch of Jell-O of any flavor. Fill the "shell" with the liquid Jell-O. Place them into the fridge to set. Once the item has set cut the halves into quarters. Put a toothpick and a triangle piece of construction paper into them to give the appearance of boats... Alternatives: You can also fill the Jell-O with frozen fruit to give it an extra kick. You can also use fruit rollup in place of the triangle piece of construction paper for the sail.
4-15-00Make edible stop lights. Break a graham cracker into 4s. Spread with peanut butter, and put a red, yellow and green m and m candy, top to bottom. We do this after our discussion of safety.
4-15-00School Bus: Materials: Box of off brand Twinkies ( they are actually yellower), large package of caramel rolos, pretzels,chocolate chips Directions: 1) wash hands 2) give each child a Twinkie 3) have each child take bite off the top left corner 4) stick 2 pretzel sticks through the sides of the Twinkie (to make front & back axels) 5) put 1 Rolo on each pretzel stick ends (for wheels) 6) put 4 chocolate chips on Twinkie (point side in) to make people
Date: 3-14-00Hot Air Balloons 1 slice of bread per child (homemade works best) Peanut Butter, Jelly, Cream Cheese, etc. Raisins, String licorice or string cheese Cut the bread in half. The top rounded half is the balloon and the bottom half is the basket. Use the spreads (PB, jelly etc.) to paint the basket and the balloon. For example the basket could be brown (PB) and the Balloon rainbow (jelly). Use raisins for the people and string licorice or string cheese, carrots ect. to attach the balloon to the basket. Happy Flying!
Date: 3-14-00Trains Soda or Club Crackers Peanut Butter Cheerios Various snacks (cheese, pretzel sticks. carrots, goldfish crackers. marshmallows, etc. Use the cracker to make the train cars, the cheerios for the wheels, and the other items for the cargo for the train. For example: They could have one cracker and have a flat car and stack it full of pretzel sticks for logs. Anything works we even had flying trains.
ideaYou can make cars out of sandwiches too. You use a dinner roll instead of bread. I use carrot circles for the wheels but you could use anything round and about that size. We usually put racing stripes on with cream cheese or mustard and sometimes we even make a little driver out of a radish.
ideaYou need graham crackers, frosting, yellow food coloring, gummy lifesavers, and Hershey's chocolate bars. Frost the graham cracker, use the lifesavers for wheels and but the chocolate for the windows Not very nutritious but we used it for our transportation party.
Date: 8-13-99Banana Airplanes: 1/2 of a banana for the body of the airplane 2 pretzel sticks for the wings 4 mini marshmallows for the windows I did this for a camp at the Science Center of Iowa and the children really liked building their own airplane.
Date: 8-13-99Apple boats: 1/2 an apple for the boat 1 pretzel stick for the mast 2 mini marshmallows for the sail I used this snack at a camp at the Science Center of Iowa and the children loved making their own boat. Once we discussed the different parts of the boat, I handed out the supplies and they put them together.
Date: 8-13-99THIS IS A BIG HIT WITH CHILDREN WHILE STUDYING TRANSPORTATION. FOR SNACK LET EACH CHILD MAKE THEIR OWN "CAR". USE 1/2 PIECE OF CELERY, 4 CARROT CIRCLES FOR EACH CAR/WHEELS,RAISINS FOR HUBCAPS, PEANUT BUTTER FOR THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, TWO TOOTHPICKS FOR AXLES. PUT THE PEANUT BUTTER ON THE CELERY FIRST. STICK THE TOOTHPICK THROUGH THE CELERY STICK. ADD A CARROT CIRCLE ON EACH POINT FOR WHEELS, THEN COVER THE POINT OF THE TOOTHPICK WITH RAISIN. "PEOPLE" CAN BE MADE TO RIDE OUT OF MORE RAISINS, PEANUTS, OR WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE. Date: 7-2-99For cars we cut 3 inch pieces of celery, put a toothpick across each end and add round carrot slices for the wheels. You can put cream cheese or peanut butter in the inside of the celery.
Date: 6-30-99We made placemats to use during the transportation unit...I found clipart of many types of transportation...from cars, to motorcycles to farm vehicles, airplanes...even a baby buggy!I printed them in a size where the wheels were approximately *cookie* size, then mounted on colored paper and laminated so we could clean and use for many years. For snack, we passed around a basket of cookies and told the children to take out enough cookies to make *wheels* for their vehicle! All vehicles had only 2 wheels showing.
Date: 6-30-99Hot Air balloon snack...round cookie for balloon, 3 strips of licorice for ropes, waffle cookie for basket. |
