School bus crafts for preschool

• Black and yellow cardstock or construction paper

School bus arts and crafts

Step 1: Download the PDF template. Both a color and black and white version are included.

Print the template. Print the colored version as is. If you print the back and white version, color in the template with the correct colors, or use the template for tracing onto colored cardstock.

Cut out the pieces and keep aside.

Step 2: Take the large yellow piece and wrap it around the toilet paper to cover it. Leave it aside to dry.

Make sure the entire toilet paper roll is covered with the yellow cardstock.

Step 3: Poke holes at the 2 ends of the toilet roll so that the toothpicks can fit in. I’d recommend this step to be done by a grown-up.

Insert in the toothpicks into the holes.

Step 4: Cut out the wheels. Place the wheels onto cardboard to provide some support.

Glue the smaller black circles onto the larger ones to create the wheels.

Step 5: Glue the wheels on the ends of the sticks.

Bus Craft

Step 6: Glue the light blue pieces onto the toilet paper roll to create the windows of the school bus.

Step 7: Glue the black paper strip horizontally onto the toilet paper roll.

Step 8: Glue the red semi-circle shape on the front of the black paper strip to give the idea of a stop sign.

Step 9: Using a marker add in extra details and outline the windows to make them stand out more.

And you’re all done! That’s it! This is a super simple back to school craft that can be done by preschoolers, kindergarteners and even first graders and is a great way to get learners crafting and practicing their fine motor skills.
