Paper Plate Christmas School Bus – Kid Craft

Due to the recent popularity of our paper plate Christmas camper tutorial, I decided to keep the fun going with a SCHOOL BUS theme that is perfect to bring into a classroom setting!

It’s still really inexpensive and made from a basic paper plate. But this time we are bringing in some yellow craft paint into the mix for the iconic school bus color. From there, all you need is some scrapbook letter stickers and colored cardstock. That’s it! Super simple to recreate and perfect for boys & girls to make this holiday season! Not to mention ONE paper plate will make TWO school buses in one sitting!

So stop what you are doing and add this to your crafty to-do list! In fact – make sure you bookmark or “pin” this very post right now!

Then check out the full tutorial for our Christmas school bus craft made from a paper plate below and get ready for a fun & extra memorable holiday season in the classroom! I bet even teachers will want to make one of these too to show off on their holiday bulletin boards! You could even take it a step further and include pictures in the driver seat! Let’s get those crafty juices flowing!

Happy crafting my friends!!! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your paper plate holiday school bus on our Facebook page! I can’t wait to see how you give it your own personal spin!!! #gluedtomycrafts
