We think this year's topic will be a very approachable one for kids this age. Everyone can relate to transportation - we do it every day. With this topic we have a chance to allow kids to explore modes of transportation they may not have considered. They'll also have an excellent opportunity learn where things they use actually come from and all the various steps in transportation it takes to get to them.
