Choo-choo Train

What You Need:

Index cards (4" by 6")

Transparent tape

Hole punch

Child safety scissors

Paper fasteners (adult supervision here!)

Cardboard egg carton

Markers


What You Do:

1. Firstly, to make the cars....
   
   • Hold two index cards the long way; fold each one into thirds.
   • Place one card upside down inside the second card; tape to hold together.
   • Make more train cars by folding and taping additional index cards. Punch a hole in the ends of each car.
     
     
2. Next, to make the couplings
   
   • Cut out 1" by 3" rectangles from another index card.
   • Punch a hole in the ends of each strip.
   • Attach couplings between the train cars with paper fasteners.
     
     
3. Lastly, to make the engine.
   
   • Cut out one section of the egg carton. Holding the index card vertically, tent it over the egg section; tape to hold.
   • Tape the engine car to the first train car.
     
     
4. Use markers to decorate the train and draw on wheels.
