BRIGHT, Engaging, Double-Sided Learning
Vroom, zoom, and splash into history! With Tot Talk’s Transportation Placemat, kids journey through time to discover how humans have traveled across air, land, and water — from ancient boats to rockets soaring into space.
Front Side
Children explore major milestones in transportation history, learning when and where famous vehicles first appeared — hot air balloons, early locomotives, cars, ships, airplanes, jets, rockets, and more. Each illustration is paired with a fun fact and date so kids can see how transportation has evolved across thousands of years.
Back Side
Features a playful Healthy Eating Game using a road-map design of Tot Talk Town. Kids can pretend foods are vehicles (peas = cars, broccoli = boats, carrots = airplanes) and move them along the town’s roads, water paths, and air routes — then enjoy eating their “vehicles”!
Perfect for hands-on learning, imagination play, and building healthy eating habits.
