Construction Week for Preschoolers featuring Goodnight Construction Site

Since we started The Virtual Book Club for kids one of our favourite themes to do with our preschoolers has been the Construction Theme. Alongside being our favourite theme it’s also featuring one of our favourite books Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site by Sherri Rinker.

So here you go your week plan for Construction Theme for Preschoolers.

Virtual Book Club for Kids Featured book Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site

We have included links to the books on Amazon. As an associate, we may earn from qualifying purchases.

This week’s featured book is Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site by Sherri Rinker. A favourite with our kids and has been since they were tots.

In this delightful book as the sun sets and the day ends the trucks and diggers on the construction site get to say goodnight. It’s a lovely book to read whatever the time of day but especially nice at bedtime too.

Construction Week Plan for Preschoolers

Each week we pick 5 simple activities for the week to do with your preschooler. We focus on playing, learning, creating and most importantly having fun at home.

How you schedule this out is up to you, but our suggested plan below is how one of the Virtual Book Club for Kids team structures their week with the preschooler at home. An activity a day!

If you would like more activities or alternatives then below the 5 ideas you will find our Construction Week Board on Pinterest where we have been pinning lots of ideas for fun activities to do together.

Sensory Play Activity

There are so many fantastic sensory construction activities that it was difficult to pick one. However, this construction truck sensory bin is great. Easy to set up and our kids loved to pour down the slide.
