Can You Hammer a Nail?

Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low?

Can you hammer a nail?

Can you saw a piece of wood?

Are you handy with a wrench?

Can you use it like you should?

The construction worker can

Use these tools in different ways

Each and every day!

 

See the Dump Truck

Tune: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

See the dump truck going slow,

It must have a great big load.

Full of dirt or maybe rocks,

Working hard, it never stops.

See the dump truck going fast,

Just finished up the work at last.

Craft Instructions:

1. Color your tools, then cut them out.

2. Open your paper tool box and glue the tools inside.

3. Decorate the outside of your toolbox.

Extra play Ideas:

·        Paint with trucks! Squirt paint in a few spots on a piece of paper then seal it in a Ziploc bag. Let your little one drive construction trucks over the top to spread  the paint around.

·

·        Go outside and build! Give your child some materials and let them create.
