I’ve taken a few of my son’s favorite things and made a PAPER MONSTER TRUCK HEN craft tutorial that I’m super excited to be sharing right now. Hopefully you see my vision in this idea as well. There’s even a craft foam Easter egg in the back of the truck to pull the “spring theme” nicely together.

Keep calm and keep truckin’ on! Most importantly – happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished monster trucks from a paper plate, on our Facebook page for us to admire from a far from! I can’t wait to see how creative they make their Easter trucks! #gluedtomycrafts

PAIR YOUR HEN MONSTER TRUCK CRAFT WITH —> Paper Plate Bunny Monster Truck

Craft Supplies:

Large Paper Plate {one per hen truck craft}
Kid Friendly Paper Craft Scissors
Various Colors of Cardstock Paper {black, gray, white, orange, red}
Glue Stick
Hand-Held Office Stapler
Large Scallop Paper Punch
Large Circle Paper Punch
Large Craft Foam Egg Shape
optional materials for this craft – markers, glitter, Easter themed stickers etc.

Directions:

First things first – envision your paper plate like a pie. Cut off a small triangular section from your paper plate, to give a more defined look of the bed of the truck and it’s cab. Discard the small piece you just cut off.
Set aside the large paper plate piece.
Next up – grab all your paper pieces, paper punches and your scissors.
Cut out a beak, large wheels, window, the hen’s comb, waddle and anything else you can think of.
Now go ahead and staple and/or use the glue stick to secure them in the designated spots on the paper plate piece you made earlier.
When everything is in place, grab the craft foam egg shape, decorate it and staple it to the back of the monster truck, so it looks like it’s being taken for a ride.
Don’t forget to either draw or add a sticker friend, in the window/front seat of the truck!
Finally – if desired, add anything else you like for that custom look, before displaying proudly for all to see!
