DLTK's Crafts for Kids
PERCY THE SMALL ENGINE No. 6 CRAFT

Percy is one of Thomas the Tank Engine's friends.

Materials you will need are a printer, paper (I prefer construction paper or another heavier paper), scissors, glue, and something to colour with. 

• Print out the template of choice. 
   
• Colour pieces, as necessary
  • #1 is green,
  • #2 and #3 are gold on the outside, black in the center,
  • #4 is black,
  • #5 is mainly red with some grey on the top and green half circles at the bottom, with black decorations,
  • #6 and #7 are green with black decorations,
  • #8 is black with grey wheels
  • #9 is grey
         
• Cut out the pieces.  This step may require adult assistance and can be done prior to craft time (if you're colouring the cut out pieces, put a roll of masking tape on the back and tape lightly to newspaper or scrap paper). 
   
• Glue the pieces together (see the picture above for how the finished product should look).  It's a good idea to pre-do one before doing these crafts with a bunch of young kids, so they can see what it looks like finished. 
  • Glue #2 and #3 so the curves are fitted around the central oval in #1
  • Glue #4 onto #1 so it juts over the roof
  • Glue #5 so the bottom straight edge is flush with the bottom straight edge of #1
  • Glue #6 and #7 onto #5 at each of the left and right edges.
  • Glue #8 under #5
  • Glue #9 on front of the whole thing
