Alphabet Vehicles Activity

Learning the art of Compromise with Alphabet Vehicles Activity

When I run out of ideas for blog posts, LO is always my rescuer.๐Ÿ˜„ He does some new activity, from which I grab the idea for my next post! It's usual for LO to play with alphabet. This time he combined vehicles with Alphabet, and thus paved the way for this activity.
He has few collection of vehicles, which he sorted in alphabetical order. But with this activity I learned one thing, as how important is to learn the art of compromise at young age. Compromise is what makes relationships healthy and strong, methinks!๐Ÿ˜Œ. LO stayed very cool during this activity, doing all compromises he could. Let's look at how it happened.
As I have already posted, we have a list of A-Z vehicles. LO sorted vehicles and alphabet starting from A for Airplane, B for Bus,... When I noticed this play I wondered, would this go till the end, as we don't have an orderly collection of vehicles. But LO did it.๐Ÿ˜Š For few, like for I,X,Y,Z we didn't have matching vehicles, but he did a good compromise with what he had.

A for Airplane
B for Bus
C for Car
D for Dump truck

E for Excavator
F for Forklift
G for Garbage Truck
H for Helicopter
I for Ice cream truck
J for Jeep
K for Kart car
L for Lorry
For the letter I, we didn't have an ice cream truck, but he imagined a LEGO duplo's buildable car to be an ice cream truck. And for letter K, an old race car got a new name "kart car"!
M for Monster truck
N for Navigator
O for Oil Tanker
P for Police car
For letter "N" a SUV type car became Navigator car. For letter "O" a truck was compromised to be an oil tanker.
Q for Quad Bike
R for Race car
S for Steam engine
T for Tractor
For letter "Q" we had the ATV (All Terrain Vehicle). ATV is also called Quad bike.
U for Unmanned car
V for Van
W for Wagon
For letter "U" an ordinary car was named "unmanned car".
X for Xebec
Y for Yellow car
Z for Zeppelin
X for Xebec, we didn't have any resembling vehicles to alter, so I quickly did a paper boat๐Ÿ˜›. The thing is he happily accepted it!!! For "Y" we simply decided to have a yellow colored car. "Z" for Zeppelin we gave the rocket a new name๐Ÿ˜›.
At the end of the day we had a great time playing with alphabet and vehicles. Try this out or similar kinda activity which will give a chance for the kids to learn the art of compromise.

Happy Parenting!
