My son is currently obsessed with trains (or anything with wheels!), so today we are sharing some of our favourite train crafts for kids.
You can make trains with:
- egg cartons
- cardboard tubes
- shoeboxes
- corks and buttons
- construction paper
- paint and sponges
- paint and rocks/stones
- wooden craft sticks, spools, blocks and crates
Trains can also be used to help kids learn about letters, numbers, shapes and colours.
Why not add in some of your kids’ favourite books about trains to make it even more fun?!
