Supplies

3-4 empty juice boxes
1 extra long pipe cleaner
Safety scissors
Cardboard tube
Construction paper
Crayons, markers or craft paint and brushes
Craft glue

Instructions

  1. With the help of a grown-up, poke a hole in the top and bottom of the juice boxes.
  2. Paint or cover the juice boxes in construction paper. Decorate your new cars using crayons, markers or paint (wait for the paint to dry to move on to the next step).
  3. Line up your cars and thread the pipe cleaner through the holes and fold both ends of the pipe cleaner to secure it in place.
  4. Cut off a small ring of the cardboard tube and glue it to the first train car to create an engine.
  5. With the help of a grown-up, use safety scissors to cut a triangle out of paper and glue it to the front of the engine to create the bumper.
  6. Now you have your very own Choo Choo Train!
