Tractor Craft for Preschool

This craft is so easy for preschoolers to put together with a little help from a grown-up.

When your little ones finish making their tractor, let them put it in the pretend play farm area or put a magnet on the back and hang it on the fridge.

What You’ll Need

7 green popsicle sticks (If you don’t have colored craft sticks on hand, you can let your preschooler paint them.)

1 large yellow button (Black buttons will work, as well.)

1 small yellow button

Glue

Scissors

What You’ll Do

To begin, have a grown-up cut one green craft stick in half. Set one half aside. Cut the ends off of two more craft sticks. You may want to sand the rough edges down to prevent splinters before giving these to preschoolers.

Build the top of the tractor by placing the half stick on top of the other two sticks and gluing it in place.

Glue the remaining four popsicle sticks horizontally on the bottom half of the other two sticks. Stack each stick on top of the other to make the tractor’s body.

Glue the large yellow button to the rear of the tractor and the small yellow button on the front.

Now the tractor is complete. As a fun little variation, you could glue your child’s picture to the backside of the tractor so it looks as if they’re driving it.

That is sure to light up your little one’s face!
