How to Make the Firefighter Craft
Print the free template with the firefighter and the burning house on white cardstock.
Carefully color the firefighter, flames, grass, clouds, and house using colored pencils, markers, or paints. Bright colors will make the craft look even more exciting.
To create the 3D water spray from the firefighter’s hose, take a piece of light blue double-sided paper and fold it accordion-style.
Once the paper is fully folded, bend the accordion in half and glue the center together.
You should get a fan-shaped piece that looks like a splash of water.
Glue the finished 3D paper fan onto the firefighter’s hose to create the realistic water effect. Your easy firefighter craft is now complete!
