Air Transportation Activities for Preschoolers
You can have your preschoolers work on one page at a time. Or, you can bind them into a fun air transportation workbook to complete at your leisure.
There are so many fun things to teach children about different modes of transportation. Here are a few engaging activities your preschoolers will love.
Air Transportation Movies for Kids
I love to incorporate movies and videos into our unit studies whenever possible. They’re a great way to entertain your little ones on sick days or rainy days.
Here are a few ideas for kids:
- Planes/Planes 2
- Jay Jay the Jet Plane: Jay Jay’s Big Mystery
- All About Airplanes
- The Magic School Bus Takes Flight
Books About Air Transportation
In addition to movies, I love to include a wide variety of books in my lessons. I use some for read-alouds and save others for independent reading (when appropriate).
Below, I’m sharing a few of my favorite nonfiction books about the air transportation. I find they’re perfect for introducing the modes of air transportation, increasing vocabulary, and illustrating important information.
Air Transportation Activities
Preschoolers love hands-on activities and crafts. Those types of activities help little ones engage with the topic you’re teaching.
When studying air transportation, you can add one or more of these activities to your lesson plans:
• These printable airplane activities for preschoolers are perfect for your preschool transportation theme!
• Weaving paper is great for fine motor skills. Kids can build those skills as they make this rocket ship craft for preschoolers! It’s an easy transportation craft for preschool and kindergarten kiddos.
• A fun, hands-on activity to pair with Pete the Cat: Out of This World! Kids will love making and playing with this Pete the Cat space slime!
• Whether you’re gearing up for a vacation or you’re studying airplanes with your kids, these airplane movies are a must-see!
• Engaging your little ones by adding toy planes, hot air balloons, and rocket ships to your dramatic play area or a sensory bin filled with cotton ball clouds.
