coloring pages too. They fit nicely with this set and give kids a few different vehicle styles to color at home, in the classroom, or during a car-themed party.

These ideas are realistic, affordable, and easy to set up with basic supplies. Most work just as well at the kitchen table as they do in a classroom center or rainy-day craft session.
