Instructions
  1. Cover your work area with newspaper. Use the pencil and the ruler to divide the card stock into 4 equal sections.

  2. Pour some black paint onto the paper plate. Drive the toy truck through the paint a few times to coat the wheels well.

  3. Wheel Fun - Step 3 Roll the truck over the card stock to make tracks, taking care to leave some room in each section for a message.
