Instructions

  • Download the bus template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
  • Begin to make the front of the bus by gluing the grill to the middle of the front piece.
  • Take the lights and glue them on either side of the grill.
  • Next, use a red marker to draw a rectangle below both lights.
  • Place the reflector piece just below the grill and glue in place, then take the black bottom of the bus and glue it right below the reflector.
  • Take the main bus piece and glue the school bus sign near the top and middle of it. Use a red marker to draw a small circle on either side of the words.
  • Cut out your child's head from the photo and glue it to the left window.
  • Next, take both windows and glue them in the middle of the bus, slightly below the school bus piece.
  • Position the front of the bus piece and glue it to the main bus piece, slightly overlapping the bottom of the windows.
  • Glue the bus' mirrors to the back of both sides of the bus, around the window level.
  • Finish up by gluing the tires to the back and bottom of each side of the bus.
