Martin & Sylvia: Saturdays! Printable Project Page: How to be a Fire Fighter
In the Martin & Sylvia: Saturdays! story “How to be a Fire Fighter,” Sylvia decides that she wants to start her training to be a real fire fighter. You can starts yours too - and one of the ways is to make your own fire truck!
Here’s how: Start with a cardboard box. Paint the outside with red paint and let it dry. Then paint four small paper plates with black paint. When both are dry, you can glue them on the box as wheels. The windshield, the front lights, the bumper and ladder are cut out of blue, white and yellow construction paper.
When those are glued on the side, you can cut out a hole in the bottom, adhere a strap to the top and put your firetruck on!
