About this resource
Description
Police officers are community helpers who keep our neighborhoods safe. This police car craft activity lets children build their own 3-D paper police car while they talk about the people who help in a community. Coloring, cutting, folding and gluing also build strong scissor skills and the habit of following steps in order.
The police car craft activity is made for Preschool through 3rd grade. Children color the car body, cut on the solid black lines, fold on the dashed lines and glue the gray tabs to make a sturdy box car. Then they add four round wheels and a red and blue light bar, cut out a road, and drive their new car. Six fold-over cards stand up beside the car and show tools a police officer uses: a badge, a whistle, a police hat, a radio, a flashlight and traffic cones.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with prep tips, steps and extension ideas
- A police car body template with glue tabs
- Wheels, a light bar and a road to cut out
- 6 fold-over police tools cards that stand up
Why Kids Love This Community Helpers Craft
First, children are proud to make a real 3-D model they can hold and play with. Second, the craft builds fine motor skills as they cut curves and straight lines, fold edges and glue tabs. Third, the tool cards spark conversation about how police officers help people, which builds social studies vocabulary and respect for community helpers.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the craft during a community helpers unit, a safety week, or a visit from a local officer. Line up every car on the paper roads to build a class town, then add fire trucks and buses for other helpers. At home, children can tell a story about their police car helping someone in the neighborhood. Older students can write a sentence about each tool card.
