Big Rigs
Gather up some recycled boxes and bottle caps. That’s almost all you need to make a tractor trailer than can zoom down the highway of your imagination!
1. Big rigs move heavy-duty cargo on highways every day. Here’s one way to make your very own truck.
2. Measure enough construction paper and cut to cover recycled boxes to be a cab and trailer. Decorate the sides with Crayola® Washable Markers. Draw a cool product, logo, or words. Attach paper to the boxes with Crayola School Glue. Glue your cab to the trailer.
3. How many wheels are on most big rigs? Glue milk carton caps on your tractor-trailer for wheels. Air-dry your truck before you play with it.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
