Construction Theme Activity Binder

I am pretty sure that every child I have ever known, especially little boys, has had some obsession with construction equipment and construction themed things at some point in their life. My little guy has been obsessed since he was wee little. The construction theme is such a fun one and I couldn't miss the opportunity to create a construction themed activity binder! My little guy was on cloud nine when I pulled these activities out for him the first time. This is just one of many themed binder sets that I have available with many more to come. I have a hard time picking a favorite because each set is just so incredibly fun to make.

Are you looking for simple hands on learning activities to keep your young learners engaged and learning while playing? Do you have a little one who is obsessed with Construction equipment? This Construction Themed Activity Binder for preschool and kindergarten has ten interactive learning activities that are perfect for any time of year and will keep your learner engaged and having fun while learning. Check out all ten construction themed learning activities and grab a copy for your home or classroom here.

Busy Binder Activities

Here is a look at everything included in the Construction Themed Activity Binder.

If you decide to bind them together into a binder or book, I have included a cover page you can use! I have used both binders and Proclick binding spines to bind our busy binders over the years. Both work great. And again, you don't even have to bind them or use Velcro dots. You can use them as individual activities.

Children will match tools to the shadow on the mat with this Tools Shadow Matching Activity.

Children will work on beginning sounds with this Construction Beginning Sounds Match activity. Students will pick a rock picture, say the word, identify the beginning sound, and add it to the back of the correct letter dump truck.

The Building Number 10 Frames activity works on number identification, counting on a ten frame, and matching numbers. Children will use the tool pictures or another small manipulative to count out the corresponding number on the ten frame and then find the same number on the signs.

Children will practice tracing and identifying shapes with this Construction Shape Signs activity.

Practice matching colors and color words together with this Colorful Construction Signs activity.

My kids love spinning spinners. For this Spin and Count tools activity, kids will have the chance to spin a spinner and then use tools (real or the paper ones) to count out the corresponding amount into the tool box.

Using tally marks is an easy way to see how many you have of something. With this Tally & Graph Construction activity, children will use tally marks to count how many different construction related pictures there are and they will use the information they collected to graph the totals on the graph.

For the Short Vowel Brick sort, children will sort the bricks by medial vowel sound. Students will say the name of the picture on the brick, identify what short vowel sound they hear, and place it above the correct vowel brick on the mat to for brick walls.

Construction Words Trace and Match is a two part activity. Children will be introduced to construction themed vocabulary words. They will trace the words and spell them out and then once they have traced the words, they will match them to the correct picture on the left side of the mat.

Students will practice pen control and left to right progression with these Don't Hit the Cones activity sheets.

We have had a mini construction zone in our house the last few weeks and I don't see it going away any time soon. This is a favorite around here.
