This simple train craft requires a printer, a piece of paper, some crayons (or paint or markers), scissors and glue. I always prefer to use a heavy paper (like construction paper), but it isn't necessary. Optional materials include a cotton ball, photos or magazine clippings of children or toys, and spaghetti or linguini. Print out the template of choice. If using the black and white template, try printing it on coloured construction paper. Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces. Adults may need to help with the cutting. Glue the face onto the front of the train. Glue the smokestack onto the top. You can glue a bit of cotton ball to the smockstack as pretend smoke. If you want to make it a bit more environmentally realistic, you can colour the cotton grey or black with marker or paint. Glue the wheels onto the bottom of the train. You can stop here with TEMPLATE #1 or print template #2 as well. Glue the car and caboose from template #2 onto the back of the train. Explain that the caboose of the train is always the last (the caboose is on the top of the page on template 2. The car is on the bottom). You can cut out magazine pictures of toys or children, a picture from a coloring book, or a small photo of the child and glue them into the car or onto the back of the caboose. Really young kids may have an easier time attaching the cars, cotton balls, etc. if they glue everything to a background piece of paper (they also have the opportunity to colour in a sky, grass, clouds etc. this way). This also allows you to use uncooked pieces of spaghetti or linguini, glued underneath of the train's wheels, to represent train tracks. http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts//egg-carton-dump-truck-l1801.htmlEgg Carton Dump Truck - Although children Age 3+ will enjoy playing with this craft, its a bit fiddly to make so Ive rated it Age 5+. craft Materials: styrofoam egg carton small piece of a straw (about 3 inch piece) glue scissors paint or markers (see NOTE) http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts//egg-carton-school-bus-l1802.htmlEgg Carton School Bus - This is a simple craft for preschool children about to begin school or for young siblings of school age kids. Materials: lid (TOP) of an egg carton yellow paint or markers black construction paper or 2 lids from milk jugs (for wheels) black marker OPTIONAL: small cutouts of people from magazines, coloring books or hand drawn Instructions: cut the lid off an egg carton Paint (or color with marker) the lid yellow. We only used one coat, but you could do two. While the paint is drying, cut 2 circles out of black construction paper (you can have the children trace the lid from a baby food jar or orange juice container -- preschool kids enjoy tracing). Use white crayon, chalk or pencil crayon for tracing. Allow the children to cut out their circles with safety scissors (or supervise them closely while they use regular scissors). The wheels don't have to be perfectly round -- let them have fun. OR use the lids from milk jugs as an alternative to construction paper wheels OPTIONAL: Also while the paint is drying, have the children cut small images of people from magazines or coloring books or let them draw their own. once again, let the children roughly cut out the images with safety scissors. Once the paint is dry, glue on the wheels. OPTIONAL: Glue the images of people onto the bus. The carton we used had holes down the center, so we glued the people into the holes. If yours doesn't have holes, just glue the people onto the bus... you can draw "windows" around them with a black marker. Write SCHOOL along the top of the bus (or if your child is beginning to write on their own, let them write it out). http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts//egg-shell-ship-l1803.htmlEgg Shell Ship - With a tissue paper sail, this boat is kitchen sink-worthy (as long as the wind remembers not to blow too hard).

What you'll need: Cardboard boxes Sharp scissors Paint Paintbrushes Clear packing tape Overalls, shirt, and engineer's cap How to make it: Cut the cardboard to fit the wheelchair. Paint the cardboard as desired to simulate an engine. Let dry. Assemble the cardboard on the wheelchair and fasten with clear packing tape. Dress up and have a great time! Tips: If you don't have an engineer's cap, purchase an inexpensive painter's cap and paint stripes on it. http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts//fire-truck-l1805.htmlFire Truck Box Toy - Children can make these fire trucks to pretend to ride in or to use as a toy box. If you like, you can cut out the bottom of the box (before making the craft) and the children can enter the box, carry it, and walk around pretending to be a fire fighter. Supplies: A cardboard box Four paper plates Red and black paint 3 paint brushes Black, white, blue, and orange construction paper Scissors Glue Paint a cardboard box red and let it dry. Paint four paper plates black and let them dry. Cut two headlights and fenders from white construction paper and glue them to one end of the truck. Cut a windshield and windows from light blue construction paper and glue them to one end of the truck. Glue the wheels to your truck. Cut two ladders from orange or brown construction paper and cut two hoses from black construction paper. Cut white hub caps. Glue all of these to the sides of your truck. You now have a great fire truck to ride in or to use as a toy box http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts//fire-truck-snacks-l1807.htmlFire Truck Snacks - Children can make these tiny fire trucks for a preschool or kindergarten treat. Supplies: A paper plate Graham crackers (1 1/2 per fire truck) Tiny Ritz crackers (for wheels) Stick pretzels Black licorice Softened cream cheese (or thick frosting) Red food coloring A red jellybean, a red Dots candy, a cherry, or a strawberry Have an adult mix a few drops of food coloring to the cream cheese (or frosting). The children will use this edible "glue" to put their fire truck together. Start with a whole graham cracker. Using the back of a spoon, spread some of the "glue" on one side of it. Put half a graham cracker on top of the "glue." This is the cab of the fire truck. "Glue" a red jellybean, a red Dots candy, a cherry, or a strawberry on top of the cab. This is the fire truck's red light. "Glue" four of the tiny Ritz crackers to the sides - these are the wheels. On the back of the truck, "glue" two pretzels parallel to each other. Then "glue" in broken pieces to make a tiny ladder. "Glue" on a piece of licorice - this is the firehose. You now have a tiny fire truck that is great for snack time! http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts//fly-wright-on-the-beach-l1808.htmlFly Wright on the Beach - Step back in time to December 1903 when the Wright brothers first flew at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

Next, secure the elbow underneath the tray with the rubber band, wrapping it around several times. 3. Cut a rudder from the other tray, and insert it through a slit cut in the stern of the boat.

Using the same method, create two evenly spaced larger holes near the bottom of each long side of the box. 2. Push a lid and a cap onto the pointed end of a skewer. Thread the skewer through the holes and attach a second lid/cap pair on the other side, as shown. Trim the excess skewer with wire snips. Repeat for the second set of wheels. Rest the trimmed toilet tube halves over the axles so the truck's contents won't interrupt wheel movement. Tape them down. 3. Driver's cab: Trim the smaller plastic container so that it fits beneath the edge of the truck body. Pierce holes and use paper fasteners to attach the cab to the body. http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidsartsandcrafts//milk-carton-pirate-ship-l1811.htmlMilk Carton Pirate Ship - This is a really cool pirate ship made from milk cartons.
