Construction Learning Fun 🚜
Count wheels, name vehicles, and build your math brain.
🔢 Wheel Counting
Count wheels on construction vehicles:
- Point to a truck: "How many wheels? 1, 2, 3, 4!"
- Draw circles on paper as wheels and count them
- "This truck has 4 wheels. That truck has 6!"
- Count the wheels on a real car through the window
🚗 Vehicle Names
Learn the names of big machines:
- Bulldozer — pushes dirt
- Digger (excavator) — digs holes
- Dump truck — carries loads
- Crane — lifts things high
- Make the sounds: "Beep beep! Rumble rumble!"
🟡 Color Matching
Talk about construction colors:
- "Most construction trucks are yellow or orange!"

🏗️ Build & Stack
Practice building like a construction worker:
