The book What Kind of Car Does a T. Rex Drive? by Mark Lee (Author), Brian Biggs (Illustrator) is perfect for dinosaur lovers and fans of cars, trucks, and all things that go! In the book the T. Rex wants to buy a car too and he's surprisingly hard to please... So what kind of car does a T. Rex drive? A microcar? A convertible? A minivan?
After reading the book we set an invitation to make the story come to life with a little STEM building. To set this up we provided picasso tiles, @learnandgrow_toys road toppers #gifted, dinosaur figurines, and cars galore. The toppers can turn any tile into roadway with a variety of pieces, intersections, curves, making for unique transportation routes for their toy vehicles. The toppers offer creative open-ended play that encourages their imagination, explorations, and problem solving.
Integrating stories through another medium in order to extend the experience strengthens literacy skills as well as fostering creative thinking. Books related to the concept explorations are motivating, inspiring, and appealing to children. Stories can impart a lot of meaning and new information to help the children learn more about a topic, interact, relate their own experiences, be exposed to new concepts, and guide the children's inquiry and curiosity.
