How to Build Your Own School Bus
Supplies Needed
- School bus craft template
- Crayons, markers, or colored pencils
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- White copy paper or construction paper (optional)
Step 1: Color the pieces
Color the school bus, door, wheels, and stop sign with crayons, markers, or colored pencils.
School buses are usually yellow, but you can use any colors you like if you really want it to stand out.
Step 2: Cut out the pieces
Cut out each piece using the dashed lines as a guide.
It’s okay if there’s a little white space around the edges, or you can cut closer to the solid lines if you want.
Step 3: Add the door
Glue the door onto the bus, lining it up with the windows and the ends of the three horizontal lines.
Step 4: Finish your school bus
Glue the wheels over the open spaces along the bottom of the bus.
Finish by gluing the stop sign beside the door.
