We decided to create a fire truck out of construction paper to place over a section of the painting to clarify what the themed of the painting was. Just in case people didn’t visualize flames when they looked at the painting.Ī basic truck shape was cut of red construction paper. When I say basic truck shape, I mean that it has a cab and a trailer. If your children feel the front section needs to have a square front, that would be great too. Two circles and triangle were cut out of black paper to make the front window and the tires for the truck.

I can totally see fire trucks needing to have three or even four tires on one side.

We only included one window, but more could be added on if kids want to have more.Ī ladder was cut out of yellow construction paper and was placed diagonally on the back of the truck. When we have made other fire truck crafts, the ladder has been glued to the side of the truck. Photoshop plug-in Although Flame Painter works as a standalone application, a complimentary Photoshop plug-in ‘Flame Painter Connect’ stays at the disposal on EM’s website. There really isn’t a right or wrong place to put the ladder.įinally, a bottom trim piece was cut out of white construction paper to add a little bit of flair to the truck.

It is a powerful and extremely fun creative tool for artists who don’t want to invent the wheel.
