How To Make Your School Bus Craft

Start by printing both pages on to white printer paper. If you do have thicker paper or cardstock available then that’s a great choice as it can make your finished craft a bit more durable but for the purposes of this craft normal paper is absolutely fine.

Next color in all the separate parts of the craft. You only need to color in the windows that you’ll be using or of course on the blank windows you can add your own drawings.

Using your scissors carefully cut out all the separate parts on the first page following the dotted lines around each item.

Again you don’t need to cut out any windows or the driver windows that you are not using.

To make your school bus add little bit of glue to the back of each cut out piece and glue them onto your school bus picture where indicated with the wheel insides being stick onto the school bus’s tyres.

Finish your bus by adding your choice of windows and the bus driver and gluing these into the indicated spaces.

If you’d like to extend this activity encourage kids to draw a background to their bus, they could add a school, houses, roads, fields or anything else that they might see on their journey.
