Car and Truck Colour Sorting

2 / 22 / 182 / 26 / 18

Car and Truck Colour Sorting | Mama Papa Bubba

Oh my goodness…  This boy and his cars and trucks.  He’s nothing short of obsessed.  The other thing he’s been really into for months?  Colours.  Smack the two together and you’ve got a car and truck colour sorting activity that’s incredibly easy to pull off, but super engaging for little car and truck lovers like Sam.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • coloured construction paper {CAN}
  • sticky tape
  • small cars and trucks in various colours

Car and Truck Colour Sorting

Set up couldn’t be easier…  Basically choose a surface {we went with our coffee table, but a floor would be great too} and loosely tape sheets of construction paper in various colours down to it.  These will serve as your colour categories or ‘parking spots’ or ‘garages’ if your little one is as obsessed as mine is.

Now this activity was actually inspired by something I saw Sam doing in the playroom a few days earlier {he was colour matching his cars and our SPRI balance pods {CAN} while carefully placing the cars atop the pods} so I knew I probably wouldn’t have to give him much guidance…  I simply set out a little basket filled with his cars and asked if he wanted to park them in their spots and with that, he got started.  My favourite thing was watching him with this little aqua car…  He went back and forth between green and blue several times before deciding just to hang onto it – hah!

After that it was smooth sailing though…  He’d often tell me the name of the car and then its colour as he was placing it in its spot.

At the beginning, he’d announce the colour of the truck or car and then simply place it down on the coordinating piece of construction paper…

But before long he was ‘vrrooooooming’ his cars across the coffee table and slamming on the brakes when they’d reached the parking spot.

Doesn’t this look like a total blast?

I’m guessing Sam thinks so because we’ve already played it again TWICE!

Portable Car Play Kit

Portable Car Play Kit | Mama Papa Bubba

Have I mentioned that Grae and I love putting together homemade gifts?  Because we do.  We love it so much in fact, that despite the fact that we had actually already purchased a gift for today’s party, we decided we would make something instead – just yesterday afternoon!  Today’s birthday boy is a car lover through and through, so we used that for our inspiration.  He also {like many of our international friends} is often on the go, so we decided to make him a portable car play kit so that he has a fun and easy way to take his beloved toys with him – whether it be to a restaurant, on an airplane, or over to a friend’s house.

Cut & Paste City Car Mat

Cut and Paste City Car Mat | Mama Papa Bubba
Deep in a bin of secondhand Duplo I picked up yesterday, Miss G discovered a tiny little Lightening McQueen car and immediately fell in love.  Though she’s not really watched any movies yet, she and Brad have watched bits and pieces of Cars on their special days together and she adores the characters.  Upon discovering him, she suggested that we build him a track to drive on.  She most likely had our painter’s tape roadway in mind, but when I suggested a cut and paste city with lots of roads for driving, she was more than game.

Table Top Washi Tape Road Way | Mama Papa Bubba

Have I mentioned how much I love when fun, unplanned activities just come about naturally during the day?  I do!  In fact, I often find that they’re some of our very favourites.  That’s exactly what happened today with our super simple table top roadway.

Painter’s Tape Roadway

11 / 27 / 1212 / 1 / 12

Painter s Tape RoadwayThis afternoon as Gracen and I were working on our ribbon wand project, Miss G asked for a “biiiiiiiiiig” piece of painter’s tape.  I obliged and asked her what she was going to do with it.  Her response was, “Stick it on da floor”.  Bright idea, my girl.  

IMG 2987I’m not quite sure how it all happened, but before long, we were both sitting on the floor ripping off pieces of tape and creating this little indoor roadway.

IMG 2934As I snipped pieces of tape in half lengthwise and begun adding our lanes, Miss G gathered up her car and tractors.

IMG 2920She started driving her vehicles around on it as soon as she could and we even had a few “races” {and collisions}. 

IMG 2985This is such a simple {and inexpensive idea}, yet it brings hours of fun and endless possibilities.  Brad came home from work and immediately commented on our dead ends, so there may revamp in our near future. 

IMG 2936Of course, when it’s not being used as a roadway for cars, it can aways be used as a roadway for people.  ☺
