DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Thomas the Tank Engine Paper Craft
I have to apologize to all of you who have been
waiting/requesting Thomas for the last few months. In my defense, I now have over
600 requests on my to do list. My husband keeps teasing me that I need a staff
*grin*.
Anyways, since the movie is out now, I thought I'd
better get poor Thomas done... I hope everyone enjoys him. You can also find a Thomas the Tank Engine coloring page on the site.
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 red on the bottom and grey on top, |
| #2 is blue, |
| #3 and #4 are black, |
| #5 and #6 are black on the inside and yellow on the rim and |
| #7 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 (the "body") on top of #1 (the base/wheels) |
| Glue #3 on top of #2 |
| Glue #4 under #2 |
| Glue #5 and #6 on either side of #3 |
| Glue #7 ("head") on top of the whole thing |

| Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one
page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers). |
