How To Make This Cool Monster Truck Blaze Craft
Step 1
Gather your materials, and get ready to go on a shape hunt! Your child will need to find household objects that are shaped as rectangles, circles, and squares.
Step 2
To make Blaze’s body, my son traced a DVD box. To create his monster truck wheels, he traced a wide mason jar ring. He used everything from LEGOs to toy dishes to create the shapes he needed for Blaze.
Step 3
Use the scissors to cut Blaze’s body into a monster truck shape.
Step 4
Use white school glue or Glue Dots to attach the shapes to each other, using a photograph of Blaze as a guide.
Note
When Blaze is ready, invite your preschooler to count the circles and rectangles on him.
Step 5- Optional
When children are finished creating Blaze, they can draw a picture to glue him onto, hang him on the fridge, or share him with a friend!
