Play with Trains Visit a local store and let your child play with trains. In the Houston area, Pottery Barn Kids usually has a train set available for in- store play, as well as The Woodlands Children’s museum. Train Cars Give your child several small rectangular shapes to color and decorate as he wises (with crayons, markers, stickers, etc.) After he is done, help him paste two wheels to the bottom of each and display the papers as if each were a box car on a train. All Aboard the Color Train: Cut out many "tickets" from different colors of construction paper. Give your child seven or eight tickets. Tell him that you are the conductor of a Color Train and he can ride the train if he gives you a ticket that matches the color you call. Announce "All aboard the Red Train" or the color of your choice. Have him give you the appropriate color ticket and then he can climb on the train for a ride. Use a magic blanket ride on the floor as your pretend train. After a minute, stop and announce a new color. (Variations: use numbers, letters or shapes instead of colors.) Teddy Bear Train Obtain a box that your child’s teddy bear will fit into. Poke a hole big enough to thread a piece of yarn through. Tie a piece of yarn, just long enough for your child to hold, while the box rests on the floor. Let your child pull the train around with his teddy bear, while making train noises (“chugga lugga, chugga lugga, choo choo!”) Do this Easy Train Craft. | Train (Tune of The Farmer in the Dell) The engine chugs along, The engine chugs along, Up and down the mountain tracks, The engine chugs along.
