Keep your little ones busy this weekend with this fun paper hay truck craft idea! They’ll love building something creative on paper, with their own two hands.
Fork Painted Hay In Farm Truck Craft
A good craft project 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 craft paint is the way to go! I really do strive to keep the supplies at a minimal with our tutorials, as well as the steps that go along with them!
Take for example today’s Fork Painted Paper Hay Truck kids craft idea. It’s completely my original idea {so it’s seen here first!} and it was inspired by the current season we are in.
So on that note, 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!
Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your paper and paint hay trucks with us! You can tag us on Facebook or use our special brand #gluedtomycrafts hashtag for us to see!

Get the kiddos excited to create with this adorable paper hay truck craft! It’s a fun and easy way to get their creativity flowing while inspiring their imaginations.
Craft Supplies:
- Truck Printable – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper
- Scissors
- Colored Cardstock Paper
- Plastic Fork
- Small Paper Plate
- Brown Tulip Puffy Paint
- Black Tulip Puffy Paint
- Gold, Loose Craft Glitter
- Fall Stickers
Directions:
- First things first – print out the FREE farm truck template listed above, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper.
- Now grab your scissors and the printed printable.
- Trim out the truck shape from the paper.
- Discard excess paper.
- Now go ahead and take the truck cutout & glue it to the center of another piece of colored paper.
- Next up – grab your brown puffy paint, the plastic fork and your small paper plate.
- Squirt some paint in the center of the plate.
- Dip the bottom of the plastic fork in it.
- Using the fork as a “paint brush” you are going to want to paint on some lines of “hay” to the back of the green truck, on your paper. You can add a ton or just a few strokes.
- When done adding the painted hay element, go ahead and sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint.
- Shake off any loose glitter into the trash can.
- Next up – use the black puffy paint to draw some lines {like a tic-tac-toe board} that will really tie the theme of a hay barrel in the back of truck.
- Finally – add any other embellishments you see fit. I added a scarecrow sticker from Hobby Lobby but you can of course use anything you might have on hand already.
- When done, set it all aside to let it dry completely.
- Now display your Paper Hay Truck art work proudly for ALL to see!
- Don’t forget to snap some pics and share them with us, as well! #gluedtomycrafts
