Paper Blaze Monster Truck Craft
Blaze Monster Truck Craft!
Start your engines! Just as Blaze can transform into any kind of machine, your preschooler can transform ordinary construction paper into an adorable paper Blaze craft.
You'll need:
white, red, black, yellow and blue construction paper
scissors
pencil
glue or Glue Dots
household objects
a photograph of Blaze
Instructions:
Gather your materials, and get ready to go on a shape hunt! Your child will need to find household objects that are shaped as rectangles, circles, and squares and trace them to create the different parts of the body.
For example: for Blaze’s body, trace a DVD box. To create his monster truck wheels, use a wide mason jar ring. Get creative!
Use the scissors to cut Blaze’s body into a monster truck shape. Use white school glue or Glue Dots to attach the shapes to each other, using a photograph of Blaze as a guide.
When Blaze is ready, invite your preschooler to count the circles and rectangles on him.
When children are finished creating Blaze, they can draw a picture to glue him onto, hang him on the fridge, or share him with a friend!
