There are lots of busy construction vehicles at the construction site!
Make your very own dump truck that can dump construction material with our dump truck craft!
As you put your dump truck together, youll learn about the different parts of this special construction vehicle.
Once you finish, try making ourexcavator craftto help out around the construction site.
To make the chassis, use a ruler and draw a long rectangular shape on black construction paper.
Our chassis is about a 10 by 2 rectangle.
Use something circular like a bottle cap and trace three circles onto black on construction paper for the wheels.
Our wheels were 2 wide.
To make the dump box, draw a large rectangular shape onto a yellow piece of construction paper.
At the back of the dump box draw a slightly angled line with a lip at the top.
This is where the door opens when the dump box rises and dumps everything out!
you could make your cab be any color you like!
To make the cab, draw a square onto your construction paper.
We made ours 4 by 4.
Round off the corners to make smooth corners.
Get ready to cut out all of the shapes!
Use your scissors and cut them out.
Now its time to assemble all the pieces of your dump truck!
Using your glue stick, glue the cab onto the chassis and then glue on the wheels.
Glue one wheel under the cab and two more at the back they will be under the dump box.
Glue on your square window onto the cab so your driver can look out!
Now you could make some material for the dump truck to move and dump out.
Draw and cut some dumping material like dirt, gravel, or sand.
Dont make the pocket too deep, otherwise the material wont slide out easily.
Your dump truck is ready to move move move and help out all over your construction site!
