How to make a homemade fire truck

Many children dream and play firefighters . A fun way is to create your own truck, with which you can then invent as many stories as you want about firefighters. Direct the firemen's truck towards a supposed fire. Twist the pencil to remove the ladder and remove the cap to the pen so that the water jet comes out. Look at the following article, how to make a fire truck.

You will need to:
  • A rectangular cardboard box
  • A small cardboard box
  • 4 spools of empty thread
  • A very thin rope
  • 3 bands of elastic rubber
  • 3 cardboard strips 30 cm long and 6 cm wide each
  • 2 paper pins and scissors
  • 2 used matches and glue
  • 3 pencils or thin sticks
  • A plastic container
Steps to follow:

one

To begin, cut four square holes in the bottom of the rectangular box . Drill two holes on each side. Put two pencils on one side. Put two spools of thread into each pencil and pull out the pencils on the opposite side.

two

Then cut the lid of the box in half. Make a hole in the center. Thread the end of a rubber band through this hole and insert a match underneath. Make a second hole. Replace the lid.

3

Fold a strip of cardboard to form a triangle. Make a hole in one of the flat sides and another in one of the folds. Put the rubber. Pass a match for the ring that forms the rubber band.

4

Then put a pencil inside the cardboard triangle. Roll a rubber around one end of the pencil. Twist it in the center of the eight-shaped triangle and hook it to the other end of the pencil.

5

Cut one side of the second cardboard strip . Then cut through (a). Cut out all the strips one yes and one no (b), to make a ladder. Make another ladder in the same way.

6

Then put tape on the sides of the stairs. Put two pins on the top of one of the stairs and another two on the bottom of the other staircase. Fold the ends, as you see in the drawing.

7

Cut two pieces of rope that each have twice the length of the stairs. Join the two stairs. Tie a rope to each pin below and link the strings to the pins above.

8

Glue the bottom of the ladder to the triangle on top of the box . Wind one end of each string to the pencil and put adhesive tape to hold them tight.

9

Put the pen tube without the load inside the mouth of the balloon. Roll a very strong rubber band around so it is very secure.

10

Then to fill the balloon, place the pen tube of a tap. When the balloon is about the size of an orange, place the cap or pen cap quickly.

eleven

Put the balloon inside a plastic container to avoid splashing. Insert the pen tube through the hole in the lid of the box from the inside.

To make the cab of the fire truck, trim the sides of a small cardboard box to form the windshield and side windows. Glue the box to the front of the truck
