I really love the Polar Express theme. The book holds a really special place in my heart and I love sharing fantastic literature with kids. To watch a reading of the book go to:

We "rode" in cardboard boxes like a train. We also played with different types of jingle bells, comparing their sounds.

Snack time!
Playing with the
Polar Express (Preschool Pack) Printables. This is the Hop Along the Path Game, but I just used them as retelling images for tot school.

Sorting people and bells.
We've started some very basic graphing, which is a lot of fun to see who "wins" or reaches the top first. It is a very hands on adult led activity at this point, but still a fun group game.
They love to scribble all over the packs when we're done playing the more formal version of the games :)
We made quite a few individual tracks to avoid issues with sharing or breaking tracks apart. We also colored with our gingerbread crayons again and read a few more books about snow.
