Community Helpers Transport Match Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Cut out the vehicle and helper pieces with your child, working through the shapes one at a time. Lay all the pieces out so your child can see every helper and every vehicle before matching begins. Ask your child to figure out which vehicle belongs with which helper, talking through the reasoning if they're unsure, before gluing each pair together. Review the finished matches, naming each helper's job and vehicle once more.
