Not only was this quick and easy process art activity perfect for my preschooler, but my older kiddo had a blast with it too! Activities such as this one encourage fine motor skills as well as developing attention and persistence.

A huge thanks to Experience Early Learning (formerly Mother Goose Time) for providing us with their Experience Preschool curriculum for free in exchange for sharing our honest and authentic stories resulting from our personal experiences. It’s been such a huge blessing to us! As always, my opinions on awesome stuff for little kids are 100% my own.

Both the little guy and baby girl had a wonderful time making wheel track process art and of course cleaning up their mess after the fact with our Car Wash STEAM for Kids.

This is the perfect activity pairing for your next transportation preschool theme!

We’ve been getting the thematic studies from Experience Preschool since right after the little guy turned two. And of course, baby girl has grown up with this curriculum.
