Here are few songs about transportation:

If you have explored the distinct sounds each transportation makes, it's time for you to have fun making transportation you would like using some fruits and vegetables available at home πŸ˜‰

Can you create some edible transportation like Ms.Anji did?

Feel free to send us a video of you zooming and beeping with your creation!

Enjoy making and you get to eat them after πŸ˜ƒ
