Recently, Kaleb and I rowed The Red Carpet by Rex Parkin. I just knew that he would love the story of the runaway red carpet that had police chasing it all over town!
Because of the police chase, we learned about our community helpers. Kaleb painted a police car for a simple art project,
We talked about stop lights and what each color represents. He made a mini book about stop lights.
He painted a police cap to add to his dress up bin.
He made his own map where the red carpet rolled through town. I put it in a protective sheet so he could erase and run the carpet through town again.
I found printable traffic signs and made a matching game. We talked about the signs as we played and then he noticed more of them as we traveled around our town.
He found some of the words from the story. Kaleb isn't reading yet but he can still find words in our story.

We made pretzels the easy way - from pizza dough. Besides being somewhat smoky in our house, they were pretty good. He decided he wanted cinnamon and sugar pretzels. (link below)
He made his own town and ran the red carpet through it. I gave him a roll of red streamers and he made the town. In the background, you can see the Batman dresser that my DH painted - Kaleb loves it. Have an awesome day.
