First cut your paper plate in half. Straight up the center. This will give you TWO school buses.

Go ahead and cut a small triangle/slot out of one side {see my example} to give the school bus its long, iconic front.

Now take your tissue paper and cut it into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}

Take your paper plate halves and put a good amount of glue all over them.

Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until they are completely covered.

When they are done with that, set aside to let them dry completely while you trim out the other bus features from your cardstock {think tires, windows, etc}

To finish off the Paper Plate School Bus kid craft – simply staple/glue the cardstock pieces in their designated spots.

Then have children spell out "School Bus" with stickers and add other embellishments to really make it their own!

Now display proudly for all to see!
