Hey, you made it to part 2 of our “Get on the Vintage Back to
School Bus”!!! STOKED!!!
We hope you enjoyed part 1 and if you missed it, DIG
the quick link:
We have done several School Bus activities over the years and my
wee babes thoroughly enjoyed every one of them and so will yours! Here are our
dyno activity ideas, be sure to make them yours this school year:
First, we started out with some School Bus size sequencing on
the flannelboard of which we did in several different ways.
I set out all of our buses on their table:
Each child in rote chose
the correct bus size and placed it according to size from left to right. First we went from big to little:
Next we went from little to big:
You can get our School Bus Sequencing Set FREEBIE at the bottom
of this here post!
Then we matched school bus sizes in sequence using the free printables
from Best Toys 4 Toddlers:

Milk
Filter Flannelboard Pictures
We purchase
milk filters from Amazon to make our flannel board figures. They come
in several sizes but we purchase the 15 inch disks:
All you have to do is cut the filter to fit your printer:
and place it in the paper rack to print. Here is a direct link to the actual product and size you need:

Another School Bus activity consisted of the Mary Had a Little Lamb
sheet counting sheet in pack 2 from Cassie at 3 Dinosaurs.
My babes covered each lamb
with a mini school bus eraser I purchased from the Dollar Tree. My babes covered
each lamb in the box with their school buses, then counted them. Next they
stamped the correct number in the box:
For those of you that want to do this particular activity or
revise it to fit your needs, here is the link to Cassie’s packs
For our next activity, I
cut out 10 school buses for each child and all the children to match each bus.
I had my wee babes get their glue sticks and number stampers. On a long sheet
of paper, I guided my wee babes to glue their 10 school buses along the top.
Next I had them stamp the numbers from 1 to 10 in rote on each bus. Then,
giving them the pre-cut children, I had them look at the number of any bus they choose, say
the number and proceeded to count and glue the correct number of children under
each bus:
