Instructions:
1. Print out template
Begin by printing off the back to school photo keepsake card template on white cardstock paper. We have both a color version and black white version for kids to color on their own.
2. Cut out pieces
Cut out the pieces of the photo keepsake template. The white, red and orange lights on the template are optional. You can use acrylic gems instead.
3. Glue details together
Fold the school bus in half to create the card. Glue the bumper at the bottom of the school bus and the tires on the back of the school bus.
4. Fill in words
Use a pencil to fill in the blanks on the template for the inside of the card. Glue it on the left side inside the card. Then glue a 4-inch by 4-inch photo on the right inside of the card.
5. Glue lights
Glue the lights on the front of the school bus or use acrylic gems like we did.
6. Write details on bus
Finish your back to school photo keepsake card by using a black marker to add details on the front of the bus like writing the school year and school bus at the bottom of the bus. Kids might even like to draw a bus driver inside the front window of the bus.
