Description: We used an old cardboard box to cut out a rectangle in the shape of a traffic light. I drew circles on red, yellow and green construction paper. I had the kids cut out the circles and glue them onto the cardboard to make a traffic light. The next step is optional: you can use small rectangles of the cardboard, and spread out one end like a fan and glue it over the circle. This makes the traffic light look more realistic.
Age: 3+ (you can modify how much the kids do depending on their age)
Purpose:
Tracing
Cutting
Pasting
Creativity
Prep time: moderate, more prep would be required for younger kids, or for those with less fine motor skills
What you’ll need: cardboard, construction paper, scissors, glue stick
Fun Factor: This is a motivating activity for a child that loves street signs and anything related to traffic. Just make sure you adapt it to their skills, so they don’t think the activity is too hard. You can see from the picture that we added a left turn signal.
