PAPER TRUCKS FUN FOR CHILDREN

• First, cut out a variety of shapes in different sizes, such as squares, rectangles, circles, semi-circles, and more.  

• Next, go over all of the shapes with your littles.

• Show preschoolers how they can put together the different pieces to build a dump truck.  

• Now it’s time for the kids to assemble their very own dump truck by gluing the shapes together.  Do this by taking a full size piece of construction paper, and gluing the different pieces onto it to form a truck shape.  Note:  When gluing the dump box, only add glue to the sides and bottom, leaving the top of the dump box open like an envelope.

• Don’t forget to add the wheels and even a window for the driver to wave out of.    

• Break out the crayons or markers and see if the children would like to add some designs to their terrific paper dump truck.  

• For even more fun, any remaining shapes can be put into the dump box with a bit of glue.
