The Transportation Theme is always fun with preschool age students!
Who doesn't love things that go?
Despite my initial excitement, it was surprisingly difficult to come up with a variety of activities to connect to this theme and the letter T!
After a little brainstorming and Pinterest searching, I came up with some fun exciting for the kiddos!
Activity 1: Letter People T Puppet, Song, and Air-write

If you don't have the Letter People, you could always use another puppet and play the song from the YouTube videos available!
Activity 2: Airplane Writing in Shaving Cream
Because we are developing fine motor skills and several students have sensory difficulties, this activity is great! Not only does it tie to the theme of transportation and the letter of the week, T, but it also engages all of these other areas. Students were given a blue paper plate to mimic the sky which was filled with shaving cream. I "hooked" students by asking them if they wanted to be pilots and fly their airplane (finger) through the clouds (shaving cream).
Activity 3: Transportation Engineer (Shape matching)
The Shape Template for matching and the Transportation Template for the transportation blueprints can be found for FREE by followng these links to my TpT store
Activity 4: Transportation Sort {land, air, water} and "We All Go Traveling By" Song

The kids loved this theme and learned so much with all of our activities!
I hope your students have just as much fun!
Stay tuned for more, Teaching in the A.M.!
