Markers and cars
This was such a cute idea from Pinterest! My kiddos had such 
fun with markers taped to the back of vehicles.They each
 picked out two vehicles and two colors of markers. 
I taped the markers onto their cars, trucks and trains and 
they excitedly got busy driving their cars across
the paper. Be sure to take the lids off the markers before you
 tape them to the cars. Even little Lucy was thrilled with her 
rainbow road. Kaylee was sure to let her friends know
 there would be no speeding!  Such a simple activity with 
little preparation that the kids had such a great time with! 
Supplies needed
assorted vehicles
washable markers
masking tape
paper

Salt art
There is nothing more exciting when your a teacher than 
getting a bag of donations! Especially art donations!
In my bag of goodies I found  nice sturdy vehicle
 shapes. My kiddos had lots of fun decorating them with glue 
and colored salt.  Salt is cheap and easy to color. 
Just pour it in a bowl, add some Wilton color paste, stir and 
let it dry. I  color my salt the day ahead. The dollar store
 has these small  metal cake pans. They make a great work station
 for messy art projects. I covered  the vehicles with white school
 glue and the kids used their Q-tips to spread glue all over 
their vehicle shapes. Then they got busy picking their
 favorite colors of salt for their favorite vehicle. 
We had a rainbow assortment of cars, planes, trains and boats.
Supplies needed
Sturdy shapes.
