Hi and welcome

Depending on the type of transport you're introducing and the learning you're hoping to gain, these links may help xx

In the air
Airplane and Glider
Hot air balloon
Helicopter
Rocket

On the land
Ambulance
Fire truck
Bus
Cars and Taxis
Tractors
Lorries
Vans
Bicylces - motor and pedal
Caravans
Diggers trucks bulldozer forklift
Motorised lawn mower
Sleigh

On tracks
Train
Tram


Over and under water
Boats
Canal barge
Yacht
Ferry

Submarine

Animals
Horse, donkey, mule, camel, dog sled

Exploring the jobs that transport does eg.
How refuge lorries collect waste and recycling, an ambulance will visit and if necessary take us to hospital.
A car transports us to friends, family and takes us shopping
Boats take us out to sea, down a river, to the arctic


Ideas for transport themed activities

5 construction vehicles number rhyme + printables




bumper to bumper book - on amazon this is a great read. More storybooks with a transport theme are listed on this page - transport stories


Various transport line drawings / outline templates can be found here and can be used for mark making, collage & colour fill activities.

Use the setting's sit N rides for whole body physical play

Road safety activities


Plant pot rocket, space shuttle building


Trackoff.org have a good selection of railway safety resources

Jean Warren
has a great Transportation theme if you scroll down the page a little.


Best wishes

What about horses and carts.They used horses to deliver milk.pough fields.Tow canal barges.Shire horses are still used as dray horses.The cavalry are transported etc.with horses.Stage coaches etc.Used to deliver fast mail.
Transport through the ages could be used as part of the theme,land,sea and air sections.
Even the pigeon was used as transport to carry important messages.
