Step 3
Trim the edges of the paper on both sides of your middle picture (I have chosen the truck in my example) until level with the coupling.
If you are planing to have extra cars, you will need to trim the edges of each alternate (2nd) picture.
It is important that you don't trim paper off every picture as you need paper to adhere the trimmed page down onto.

Step 5
Ask an adult to cut a slit along the top side of the truck using a craft knife & ruler, or a paper trimmer.
The slit it to slide pictures through, giving them the appearance of being in the truck.

Step 7
Tape pictures on the back of the windows.
With the truck slide the pictures partially through the slit. Use sticky tape on the back of the picture to secure them in position, and glue on the front of the picture to stick them down.
