DIY Back to School Bus Craft
Get ready for school with this fun craft! You will make a school bus that drives to a schoolhouse on a paper plate. It's a great way to use your imagination and get excited for learning!
Your kids are bored and already reaching for a screen.
Hand them one you can feel good about.
You want your kids making things, not endlessly scrolling, but you can’t shell out $40 for a craft kit every day and Pinterest is overwhelming.
Coming up with the project is the hardest part.
What supplies do we have?

Raising makers, creators, and doers
Kids don't need every project to turn out perfectly. They need a safe space to:
- Try something
- Get it wrong
- Change the plan
- Try again
- Make something they're proud of
Give your kids the opportunity to practice creativity, problem-solving, resilience, and independence.
