REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CRAFT PROJECTS ALONE.

1. Trace out the bottom of your Chinese food container onto the back of your black sticky foam. Cut out the shape, peel off the backing, and stick it onto the bottom of the container. This is going to be the top of the bulldozer.
2. Draw out two U-shaped windows onto the back of your white sticky foam. Cut them both out. Peel the backing off of one and stick it to the front of the container (the side with the handle), with the round side facing up towards the black top. This will be the bulldozer’s windshield. Take the second U shape and cut it in half. Peel off the backings and put one half on each side of the container to the left and right of the front windshield. These will be the side windows.
3. Take one of your pipe cleaners and put a 90 degree bend towards the top of it. Twist the rest of the pipe cleaner around the bend into a spiral and cut off the excess with scissors, leaving the remaining tip from the top attached. Repeat this step with the second pipe cleaner and now you will have two headlights.
4. Use the X-acto knife to poke holes into the front of the bulldozer where the headlights will go. Open the Chinese container, insert the headlights through the holes, and fold the tips inside to fasten them in place. Then close the container back up.
5. Time to make the treads. Trace the shape of your ruler twice onto your silver textured poster board.
6. Cut the shapes out and overlap each one into a circle. The overlaps should only be an inch or so. Use tape to keep the circles together.
7. Flatten each circle out a little bit and tape them to the left and right sides of the bulldozer at the bottom.
8. Take your toilet paper tube and cut out about an inch of it. Tape it to the handle of the Chinese food container with the open side facing out. This will be the shovel for the bulldozer.
9. Cut a small X into the top of the bulldozer with the X-acto knife, insert the LED light through it and you’re ready to roll!
