Blueprint paper how to#

Remember if you have 3-year-olds they will most likely scribble, but that’s an important step of writing too! I put a magnet board behind the table so students can post their blueprints for others to use. To sneak in STEM, problem solving, and critical thinking set up an Architect desk! Place some construction pencils, blueprint paper, parts of a building poster, and models of various kinds of building to support your little architects. Lunch Break! Place some plastic food, empty drink containers, and lunch boxes so students can pretend to eat lunch at the construction site. I made this water jug by covering an empty cheese ball container with yellow Duck Tape and hot gluing a pipe to the front for a spout. Add in a few diggers and the dig site is ready! If the paper rips (mine did a bit), just tape the rips with clear packing tape.Ĭonstruction workers word hard so they need to drink lots of water. The paper is a visual to help students keep the mulch contained. Then dump about a half of a bag of rubber mulch on paper. Everything is labeled so students can easily get what they need and clean up independently.Įvery construction site has diggers so make a dig site! Cover the floor and wall with brown butcher paper or brown wrapping paper. The shelf on the right has all the tools, water jugs, and lunch goodies. There are also “blueprints” and inspection reports (my sneaky way to get students reading and writing during play). The cardboard is pieces of cardboard which students use mostly for floors, ceilings, and roofs. The wood is just a 2×4 cut up and sanded from Loews. The shelf on the left is where all the building materials are kept.

Students can learn how to use the props appropriately 2. I slowly add new props each week or every few days as their play progresses. If you would like all the Construction Site Dramatic Play printables you can grab them HERE.įirst, before you check out my construction site, I want you to know that this is what it looked like at the END of the unit. It’s super easy to sneak in tons of literacy, math, and STEM into their play too. Change the dramatic play center into a Construction Site for a construction theme! Your Preschool, Pre-k, or Kindergarten kiddos will go CRAZY for this theme and learn a ton.
