Today our educational playgroup learned all about trains at Bradley and Mrs. Macey's house. Mrs. Macey always has great ideas. She covered her kitchen table with plain butcher paper and drew a train track all around it. She talked to the children about how train tracks are made and then she talked about the different kinds of cars that make up a train. She let the children pick out printed pictures of train cars, train stations, railroad crossing signs, etc. The children colored their pictures and glued their train and station onto the track. What a cute idea!
Mrs. Macey read train stories to everyone while they enjoyed their snack. Then we listened to a train song as we all marched around the kitchen and through a tunnel as we pretended to be a train.
Next, Mrs. Macey put together a little train and let everyone have a turn riding. Nicholas enjoyed being the engineer.
