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. 

Percy the Small Engine #6
bulletPrint out the template of choice. 
 
bulletColour pieces, as necessary
bullet#1 is green,
bullet#2 and #3 are gold on the outside, black in the center,
bullet#4 is black,
bullet#5 is mainly red with some grey on the top and green half circles at the bottom, with black decorations,
bullet#6 and #7 are green with black decorations,
bullet#8 is black with grey wheels
bullet#9 is grey
     
bulletCut 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). 
 
bulletGlue 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. 
bulletGlue #2 and #3 so the curves are fitted around the central oval in #1
bulletGlue #4 onto #1 so it juts over the roof
bulletGlue #5 so the bottom straight edge is flush with the bottom straight edge of #1
bulletGlue #6 and #7 onto #5 at each of the left and right edges.
bulletGlue #8 under #5
bulletGlue #9 on front of the whole thing
