Step 1: Download and Print the Free Cement Truck Craft Template
Download the Free Cement Truck Printable. In the next step, learn how to quickly cut out as many shapes as you need.
Step 2: Staple and Cut Out the Construction Craft Shapes
Once you have the cement truck template printed out, staple it to construction paper and cut out multiple shapes at a time.
Note: If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 6-10 sheets of construction paper.
So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.
Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.
Step 3: How to Assemble
The kids will have so much fun making this construction craft!
I recommend having a cement truck that is already put together so the children can see what the final version will look like.
- start with the large yellow part of the cement truck
- glue on the black window
- glue on the black wheels
- glue the white hubcaps onto the black wheels
- glue on the gray cement mixer
- add yellow stripes to the cement mixer
- don’t forget to write your name on the back
And you’re finished!
This is such a fun and simple construction craft for kids. This paper cement truck is perfect for a Things That Go or Construction Vehicle lesson plan. And it’s easy enough for preschool, elementary, Scouts or just a fun craft at home idea.
