School buses are among the safest road vehicles in the world — they are built with high seat backs, reinforced sides, and are painted a specific shade called National School Bus Glossy Yellow, which is easy to see in low light. In the United States alone, school buses carry about 26 million children to school every day.
Coloring ideas: color the body the traditional bright school-bus yellow. The windows look great in light blue or leave them white. Give the wheels black tires with silver or gray hubcaps. The stop sign arm is red with a white border. Try drawing a kid waving from one of the windows.
Kids can count all the windows and tires on the bus. Younger children can practice staying inside the lines on the long rectangular body. Older kids can decorate the side of the bus with a fun destination sign above the windows.
