We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n This is a great addition to the cookie cutter activities<\/a> and transportation crafts<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n I love when you can pair a book with our activity. A great book to use is Transportation!: How People Get Around<\/a>. I love Gail Gibbons books. They are so much fun. You can learn all about different transportation types.<\/p>\n These are all the items we used to make this painting.<\/p>\n This is how I made templates used for the cars and planes from cookie cutters. I used the cookie cutters from the cookie cutters<\/a> You take the cookie cutter and then use a pencil and trace inside the cookie cutter making the car and plane shapes. I always make extra of them.<\/p>\n You then use a small pair of scissors to cut put the inside of the tracing. You use small pointed scissors because it is easier to cut in small spaces. You can also use an exacto knife<\/a>.<\/p>\n You draw a line for the road and the bushes. This is a great way to work on learning the size of the area for the road, bushes, and sky. If you have younger kids you can draw the lines for them.<\/p>\n You take the stencil and have them hold the stencil in place and color the space inside the car with oil pastel. You can use any color you want for the cars. Kids can be creative with their color choices. This works best with one solid color but does not mean you can’t mix colors.<\/p>\n You are going to repeat the process with the planes. You can color the plane white or silver. It all depends on what colors you want your plane to be.<\/p>\n You can use oil pastels to draw the lines on the road to make a two lane road. Super simple and easy to do.<\/p>\n You take a big paintbrush and use watercolors to paint the road. The bottom part of the paper is going to be a black road. But you can let kids be creative the road could be any color they want.<\/p>\n Next, we move to the sky and paint the sky blue. But really this could be a sunset picture as well! As you paint the sky you can see the planes in the sky.<\/p>\n Finally, we painted the bushes or trees between the road and the sky. You can see we used green and this could be painting any way you want. You fill the area between the road and the sky.<\/p>\n Finally you decorate the cars and planes. We used the graphite pencil 8B<\/a>![](\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.3dinosaurs.com%2Fwordpress%2Findex.php%2Ftransportation-painting-with-watercolors-and-oil-pastels%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.3dinosaurs.com%2Fimages%2Fblog%2F6-2021%2Ftransportation-painting-watercolor-oilpastel.jpg&description=Transportation%20Painting%20with%20Watercolors%20and%20Oil%20Pastels%20-%20a%20super%20fun%20car%20and%20plane%20painting%20that%20kids%20can%20do%20with%20mixed%20art%20of%20watercolor%20and%20oil%20pastels%20-%203Dinosaurs.com%20%23transportationforkids%20%23watercolor%20%23oldpastels%20%23paintingforkids%20%233dinosaurs%20%23mixartforkids\")
