HOW-TO VIDEO:
How to Make a School Bus Craft
Step One:
- Cut out your black and yellow pieces using your template.
- Glue the yellow piece onto the back of the black piece.
Step Two:
- Create a frame around your paper with your yellow popsicle sticks. Starting on either side. Then add two to the bottom and two to the top. I recommend using a hot glue gun or liquid glue to attach the popsicle sticks. They last longer this way. Adults only should use a hot glue gun.
Step Three:
- Add the face pieces, including the eyes, red button cheeks, and smile. Glue the black buttons and the “school bus” label to the top of the bus.
- Finally, add the tire pieces made from black construction paper.
