 It’s Rhyme Time! Last week we made finger puppets for 6 Little Ducks. This week we have the very popular rhyme ‘The Wheels of the Bus go round and round…’! wheels pf the bus craft   
We made red bus out of recyclables: a tissue box, bottle tops and stickers. My 5 year old enjoyed painted the tissue box, any excuse to get her hands on paint!

I made holes in large bottle tops to use as the wheels:

I wanted the wheels to really ‘go round’, so I attached sticks to the bottle tops, securing it with glued on beads:

My daughter drew the people on the bus onto the sticker windows:

Lots of people riding this bus, so she got bored quickly and didn’t bother with details. Apparently you can’t see the people’s faces through the window,lol!

I cut the “door”, so it can open, and the kids can play with small figurines: letting the “people” in and out the bus.

An easy recycle craft, that can be used as a toy too! Perfect for the rhyme!

    Nice usage of recycled materials! I was amazed by how easy you’ve figured out to make the windows! Keep up the good work!
