Freight Train Cut and Match I had made felt train cars inspired by Donald Crew’s book Freight Train. There was a stack of magazines about to go in the recycling bin. I decided to cut out vibrant colored objects from the magazines and have Roo place them in the train car of the same color. Older children, who have experience with scissors, can help find and cut the pictures themselves.

Wonderful idea, inspirational to explore with babies but also gives a lot of ideas to use with older ones, combined with other learning topics. Thanks for this.
