DLTK's Crafts for Kids
JAMES THE RED ENGINE No. 5 CRAFT

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

Materials you will need are a printer, paper , scissors, glue, and something to colour with. 

• Print out the template of choice.
• Color pieces, as necessary
  • #1 is black,
  • #2 is red,
  • #3's are yellow on the outside, black in the center,
  • #4 is red on the bottom and grey on the top
  • #5's are black
  • #6 is black with grey wheels
  • #7 is black with a grey face and red tabs on the bottom
• 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 smoke stack)
  • Glue #3s towards the top of the roof
  • Glue #4 under #2
  • Glue #5's on either side of #4 (sort of like headlights)
  • Glue #6 under #4
  • Glue #7 on front of the whole thing
