Start past times cutting an develop engine out of dark cardstock (I printed off an engine outline together with traced it on the dark together with and thence cutting it out).



Next usage your circle punch together with punch ii large circles for each develop machine together with the engine (total of 12 circles).

After that, whorl out out your easel newspaper together with house the develop pieces on the easel newspaper starting alongside the dark engine together with and thence moving through the rainbow of colors. Use i slice of colored cardstock per develop car. Add wheels to each develop machine together with the engine together with your develop is built! Secure inward house alongside tape.



Next, catch your cast printouts together with cutting them out, leaving a sparse white border some each shape.

Use the shapes together with a mark or crayon to together with thence delineate a cast on each develop machine (black oval on the dark engine, cherry-red circle on the cherry-red develop car, etc).


Write the names of the cast together with color on the develop machine shapes equally good thence that kids tin hand the axe larn used to the seeing the words written out together with tin hand the axe cause to position them.
