Idea:

I did this project with my preschoolers and they loved it! You need yellow & black paint, crayons, and egg cartons. Cut egg cartons in half and give one to each child. Have them place it on the table upside down so the bumps are facing up. Have each child paint cartons yellow & black for wheels on bottom or you can also precut black circles from construction paper and have children glue on bottom for wheels. When the carton dries you have a bus! When it is completely dry the children can draw (or paint) children & a driver on the bus!


We draw a large school bus and let the children paint it yellow. Then we make windows; 1 for each child. We give them a mirror and have them look in the mirror and draw themselves in the window of the bus.


The Wheels on the Bus Provide a stencil (make one out of tagboard) and have the child trace it on yellow construction paper, the the child can cut it out. Then provide empty spools and a saucer of paint. The child can dip the spool in the paint and then on the bus.
