Once Upon a Book ~ Tractors...FARM week 3

Tractors by Fiona Watt

Summary: The many uses of tractors are described and illustrated with various tactile textures.

Muddy Tractors:

Need:

• Brown Paint (or you could use chocolate pudding or real mud)
• Tractors
• Paper Plate
• Paper

To Make:

• Place some brown paint on a paper plate and add your tractor
• Let LO run their tractor thru the "mud" then on to the paper (I used green so it would look like dirt on the grass)

Let Dry can add a tractor printout that your LO colors if you'd like

** Variation: if you are real adventurous you can let your LO play with a toy tractor in real MUD!**

Writing In The Mud:

Need:

• Brown paint (or rest of chocolate pudding, or some mud)
• Ziploc Baggie
• Paper

To Make:

• Place the brown paint into ziploc baggie (you might want to double baggie and tape shut if worried LO would get into it)
• Place on top of a piece of construction paper for color contrast

• Let LO use as a drawing board with finger {kinda like a squishy magna doodle:)}

The Wheels on the Tractor

The wheels on the tractor go round and round, round and round, round and round

The wheels on the tractor go round and round, All around the farm.

The tractor in the field goes back and forth, back and forth...

The tractor in the field works all day works all day...

All around the farm
