Storytime was all abut things that go and I wanted to do something to use the scores of plastic caps people have donated to the library to create an easy to make vehicle craft!

This was the result:

trucks

Easy vehicle craft!

 

To create the cars we used these materials:

Not pictured, a screwdriver which is ADULT USE ONLY!

These materials are things we had in the library and repurposed.

 

Cut the construction paper into shapes:

trucks 007

 

And make the shapes into the vehicle of your choice (we made trucks) and use glue or tape to keep them together.

Use a screwdriver to make holes in the tops to add the fasteners.

This step is for ADULTS ONLY!

REPEAT: ADULTS ONLY!

Attach to your paper and you can decorate as you’d like.

This craft was inspired by the books:

  • The Seals on the Bus by Lenny Hort
  • Brownie and Pearl Take a Spin by Cynthia Rylant and Brian Biggs
  • Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Willems
  • Sheep on a Jeep by Nancy Shaw
