Wagon
Toddler · 2–3A little pull-along wagon. Color the wagon and its wheels! A fun way to talk about pulling, playing, and helping carry things. Print it on A4 or US Letter, or color it online with tap-to-fill.
A box on wheels
A wagon is about as simple as a vehicle gets: a rectangular body, two wheels and a handle. That makes it a good first vehicle page, easier than the car, and one a two-year-old can finish comfortably in one sitting.
It is also a rectangle in disguise, which pairs it nicely with the shapes pages — colouring the body and then asking what shape it is gives the shape name something concrete to attach to.
Pulling and pushing
A wagon is pulled rather than driven, which makes it one of the clearest illustrations of push and pull as opposites. Children use both words long before they think about them as a pair, and a handle on the front of a box is a good place to point out the difference.
Frequently asked questions
- What age is this page for?
- Two to four. Three simple regions, large areas, and nothing that needs a steady hand.
- How do I link this to shapes?
- The body is a rectangle and the wheels are circles. Naming the shapes inside a familiar object is what makes shape vocabulary transfer out of the shapes pages and into the world.
