Nothing screams autumn harvest quite like a farm truck, am I right?!

I was recently inspired by a simple pack of brown colored crinkle paper and came up with this Paper Hay Truck kid craft idea for you all today. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I enjoyed coming up with it!

Keep scrolling for the details and free farm truck printable that will help you get started within a matter of minutes!!

A good fall craft doesn’t have to be over the top or super expensive to be awesome. Ever.

At Glued To My Crafts we believe that a simple piece of paper and some inexpensive school glue is the way to go! I strive to keep the supplies at a minimal, as well as the steps.

Take for example today’s Paper Hay Truck kid craft idea. It’s completely my original idea {so it’s seen here first!} and it was all inspired by a simple pack of kraft colored crinkle paper I purchased at Dollar Tree yesterday.

Other than the crinkle paper that will become your hay in the craft, all you need is some cardstock paper, our free farm truck printable, a bottle of school glue and a single brown pipe cleaner. That’s it! I was super determined to “think outside the box” with this latest fall themed tutorial but keep it simple… like always. Plus the steps are just cutting and pasting. Nothing elaborate so it’s easy for the littlest in your home too!

And no surprise here when I “type” it but this farm hay truck craft was completely inspired by my son. Whenever I can in-cooperate his love of trucks on our website, I’m all in! I hope to pass on the love to you guys too!

So my friends, I want YOU to dream of something unique this fall and make your own hay truck with your child today! This farm themed tutorial may be geared towards kids but adults will love it too! Find all the crafty details below, as well as the free printable to get you started within a matter of minutes!
