BUILDING
A COVERED WAGON #2
- Color your
wagon cover, if you wish. All wagon covers were not white, in
fact some pioneers painted their covers red, yellow, or blue.
You may want to write a slogan on the cover. A slogan is something
like a bumber sticker on a car. Some pioneers painted "OREGON
OR BUST!" on their wagon covers, meaning they were going to try
very hard to get there. Some pioneers painted their names on the
wagon covers.
- Follow the
cutting out directions on the next page. These items will go into
your wagon when you load it. You may also want to color these
items before you cut them out.
- Fold the
page along the top of the wagon cover, matching the wheels at
the top and bottom. Make a stand for the wagon as follows: Cut
a strip of lightweight cardboard six inches long and one inch
wide. Measure one and a half inches from each eind and cut a slit
halfway through the cardboard strip. Fold the strip in half lengthwise
so that it stands by itself. Insert the wagon into the slits.
Cut out the trunk
and load it into the wagon. The children's clothes are in the trunk.
Cut out the blankets
and pillows and paste them on the trunk.
Cut out the bag
of flour, the bag of beans, and the barrel filled with dried fruit,
sugar, coffee, and tea. Load them in the wagon.
Cut out the rocking
chair and put it in the wagon for mother to rest in.
Cut out the skillet
and coffee pot and place them in the wagon.
