Red trucks are making a HUGE statement this holiday season and I’m hoping to make it big with today’s crafty idea!

Our Paper Plate Red Truck Christmas Snow Globe kid craft idea is inspired by my son. Perhaps you or your child loves red trucks too?! If that’s the case, you are in the right place because today’s DIY is super easy and I’ve even included a FREE printable template to get you started! Check it out below!

This year I’m going all out on the red truck EVERYTHING obsession. From our Christmas tree to the wrapping paper, everything is going to be centered around my son’s LOVE of RED TRUCKS!

If you were to ask lil man what he wants for Christmas, he will easily tell you “a BIG red truck.” In fact… this has been his request EVERY year for the past three years. And although he gets a red truck every time, my guess is it’s not the “right” red truck. Here’s to hoping Santa can deliver this time! :-)

Anyways – that is a little back story on what inspired our latest kid craft tutorial. This post even includes a FREE printable template to get you started {the red truck is even hand-drawn by me!} Just download, print and assemble your own custom snow globe within minutes!

Happy crafting, my friends! And don’t forget to share pictures of your creations with us!

Red Truck Snow Globe Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {I went with a shade of pre-colored blue}
* Choice of Colored Cardstock for the base
* Scissors
* Stapler
* FREE Red Truck and Trees Printable {download HERE}
* White Cardstock
* Colored Printer
* White Cotton Balls
* School Glue
* optional – embellishments like snowflake sequins, stickers, glitter etc.

Directions:

* First things first – if you aren’t using a colored paper plate, go ahead and give it some color if you like! You can use paint, tissue paper – whatever the heart desires. I just liked the look of a pre-colored paper plate but don’t let my decision stop you! When done, set it aside.
* Now grab your choice of colored cardstock, scissors and stapler. Cut out a “base” for your snowglobe. Go ahead and staple it to your paper plate to make the bottom of our snow globe.
* Next grab the cotton balls and school glue. Go ahead and glue a layer of “snow” on the bottom of your snow globe. Set aside.
* Now if you haven’t already, go ahead and download the red truck & trees file above & print it on white cardstock. You only need one print per craft.
* Use scissors to trim out the pieces in the printable. Younger kids will probably need help with this step.
* Go ahead and glue the trees down first into your snow globe, followed by the red truck on top.
* Finally – add other embellishments you see fit {like snowflake stickers or glitter} to give it that custom one-of-a-kind look! You could even get out the glitter glue!
* When done making your masterpiece, set it all aside to let it dry completely, before you display it proudly for ALL to see!
