Print This Craft

Decorate your bulletin board with this easy Tissue Paper School Bus Frame. Make enough school buses to carry all of the kids in the class to school. Back to School can be an exciting time for kids when they are happily involved with fun and easy craft projects. Put their busy little hands to work crumpling up tissue paper for this fun school bus or other tissue paper crafts.

Suggestion: Bring in a digital camera to take pictures of those kids who don’t come in with a photo for one reason or another.

Trivia:

Every school day, some 450,000 school buses transport more than 24 million children to and from schools and school-related activities.
