DIY Truck Puzzles

Oh man...after getting a taste of summer weather for a few days, this week of rain has been brutal! We've been trying to get out of the house as much as possible, but here's one activity we did when we were home.

Using different colored pieces of construction paper, cut rectangles, two circles for wheels, and a cab to create several semi-trucks.

Show your child what the trucks should look like and then mix up all of the pieces.

Have your child find the matching colors and put all of the trucks together!

I stuck all of the pieces in a ziploc bag to pull out again on another rainy day. If you have a laminator, that would definitely make them last longer. You could also put magnets on the back of each piece and have your child put them together one at a time on a cookie tray if you wanted to. If you have girls, you could do the same thing with flowers (a circle for the middle plus petals) or dolls (a head/body plus arms and legs).
