One day, my son will go to school on a bus. If this sounds normal to you, then great. But I grew up in the UK and buses are not a normal way of getting to school. There are more schools, but they’re smaller. This increases the chance of people being able to walk to them. Until my son joins the US system I couldn’t tell you which is better or worse – but what I do know is that school buses are an iconic part of American childhood, so I’m celebrating them today with these ten fabulous crafts.

I grew up in a small village in the UK, so we had to take the bus to secondary school which we thought was very grown up! We even had the same driver that my dad had when he went to the same school!
Getting a bus to school in the UK sounds terribly exciting, Nicola!! 🙂
My little guy loves school buses too, we’ll definitely be doing some of these crafts 🙂
