We just had a whole week devoted to appreciating teachers. But, why should they get all the fun? There are so many people that make the school year successful and keep our children safe and happy. As I was making this little gift, I kept thinking that those little candy bars would make the cutest little buses! And I was right!
You know by now, that I have a little love affair going on with these Hershey Nuggets. They are the most fun candy to work with. And they taste great too! To make these little gems, just follow the steps below:
1. Print out the digital file
2. Cut-out the "buses" and the bag topper.
3. Wrap the "buses" around a Hershey Nugget and secure in place with tape or glue. I like to use glue dots.
4. Toss your "buses" into a cellophane bag.
5. Fold your bag topper in half and staple over the cellophane bag.
6. Greet your bus driver with this little goodie tomorrow morning and let them know how much you appreciate them!
These little buses are also terrific for bus themed birthday parties or back-to-school treats!
These are absolutely adorable!! Makes me wish I knew a bust driver to make them for!!

DeleteI absolutely love this "Lil Bus" idea however I cannot get the printable? What am I doing wrong, I clicked and it gave me an error message. :-(
DeleteI am so sorry. I have no idea why it is not working for you. Maybe the hosting site was having temporary issues? If you are still having trouble, shoot me an email and I will send you the file directly.
DeleteI can not seem to download the file without being redirected and having to sign up for a box service. Help?
DeleteI signed up for the box account but even signed in I was unable to download the file. Solved it by right-clicking the image and choosing 'save as' and saved it to my desktop. Hope it works for others - good luck!
DeleteKudoes, this is just way tooooo cute! I do know an older bus driver who could use this as a "pick me up"! TYT
ReplyDeleteSo cute! These will come in handy!
ReplyDeleteTYFS
These are so cute! Brooke told me about your blogs so I am looking around. Wow, you are even more amazing than I knew!
ReplyDeleteHaha. Thanks Katie!
ReplyDeleteThese are so very cute. I love them. I am going to make some up for the boys next door to give to their bus driver but when I printed them out I noticed that you forgot to put the wheels on. Hope you will fix the download so I can continue printing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all your creativity and being willing to share with us all.
Have a wonderful and blessed weekend.
Lorraine, I have added an update to my post, explaining why I didn't have wheels on the original printable. I have also added another link for you that should allow you to print with wheels. Hope that helps! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI saw these and just have to say thank you for remembering bus drivers!!! So rarely do people think to thank them and they have an incredible responsibility!
ReplyDeleteThese are ADORABLE!!! I am going to feature them on my blog tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! Love this idea! Thanks for sharing the printable.
ReplyDeleteSo fun!!! I'm totally making these, because we LOVE our bus driver. Thank you for sharing and thank you for adding the printable with the wheels!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so stinkin' cute! Bus drivers do have to put up a lot during the year, so this is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this sweet idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great printable. I'm sure bus drivers everywhere will love these. Pinned!
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable and just an all around thoughtful and fun gift! New follower here!
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Trish
Those are just adorable! What a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteWow, fantastic idea! TFS
ReplyDeleteThese are SO dang cute! How creative you are! I made these to give this year and featured them on my blog with a link to your post. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnyone having trouble with the printable being too small??? i have tried several times, but it keeps printing the same size & doesn't even completely cover the nugget!! I'm so sad, because our last day of school is tomorrow, and these are so cute! Any suggestions????
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that you are having trouble. Are you downloading from the link? Are you printing with wheels or without? I don't have any idea why it would print small. I've printed it several times straight from the link at Box and haven't had any trouble at all. Check your printer settings maybe? Anyone else have a suggestion?
ReplyDeleteI don't know what program you are using to open the file, but make sure that you are expanding the printable to fill the entire page before you print. It's meant to use an entire sheet of paper. The bus strips should measure three inches long.
DeleteThese are incredibly cute. We love our bus drivers and want to use them, but I'm concerned about the yellow ink it will take. Is it possible to do one that's just the black for the buses, and I can print them out on yellow paper? I don't know how hard that would be, but I would really appreciate it! Thanks so much for the adorable idea.
ReplyDeleteMegan, if you will shoot me an email I will see what I can do.
DeleteHi. Just found these online. Wondering if you still have this file. I'd love to be able to print them on yellow paper. lmepower@hotmail.com
DeleteThese are so cute, thanks so much for sharing. My granddaughter just finished kindergarten and has the best bus driver. Together we made and packaged these, it was too adorable! Again, thanks for generously sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteJust made these this a.m. for my son's bus driver who is awesome! They turned out super cute! Thanks for sharing your talent :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI passed these out today on our last day of school to our bus drivers. They loved them! thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute. Thank you for sharing :) I opened it in Publisher and put the bus route and Bus Drivers name on them for a personal touch ;) Love them!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I've pinned them to my back to school board and would love for you to share on next Wednesday's link party on blog.thecelebrationshoppe.com ~ so clever!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim--I'd be thrilled to link up! Thanks for the invite!
ReplyDeleteI too am having problems with it only wanting to print on half a sheet, there is no where in that "box" print program that I can change. I downloaded it and opened it up in another program and it printed with no yellow. I don't know what I am doing wrong, were you ever able to help that other lady? I have a son with special needs and the bus driver and helper this summer have been amazing with him and just thought these would be so fun for them.
ReplyDeleteMandy, send me your email likeaprettypetunia@gmail.com and I will send you a PDF file. Sorry that you are having trouble. I would love to help!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm the chairperson for our PTO Staff Appreciation committee and I wanted something inexpensive to make up for our bus driver appreciation breakfast. These are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteBless you for volunteering at our schools! I'm glad that I could make your job a little easier!
ReplyDeleteIm having issues as well, cut them all out thinking maybe nuggets are smaller than I remembered, lol bought 92 nuggets today for sons b day party and cant get these to fit, could you by any chance email me the PDF as well? sorry I tried to even create my own and didnt get further than a yellow cell lol. nicoledaniellephotography@hotmail.com
DeleteHi Julie,
DeleteI love these too and I just can't get the pdf to open either. Could you please send me the pdf. Thank you so much! Happy Holidays! jena.feiner@gmail.com
Hi Julie ~
ReplyDeleteI work as a secretary in our school district's transportation dept and these are adorable! I would love to print these to hand out to all of our drivers, but I am having so much trouble getting it to even pull up. Could you also email me the PDF? dawngerts@yahoo.com - thank you so much!
Happy to see your blog as it is just what I’ve looking for and excited to read all the posts. I am looking forward to another great article from you.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to have this printable! I can't open it though. Could you or someone email it to me at jbwilson.jw@gmail.com? Thanks a million!
ReplyDeleteEvery year, big yellow buses take to the roads from August to May to pick up children and take them to and from school. Riding the bus is a great way for kids to get to know neighborhood children as well as classmates. However, if the bus driver acts erratically or drives recklessly, it can put your son or daughter in serious danger due to the lack of seat belts and other safety features on a bus.

i cannot get this to print. I have downloaded it but cant seem to get it....
ReplyDeleteIf you will send me your email, I will send you the file.
DeleteI haven't yet posted a comment, but wanted you to know that I gave this to my son's bus driver (she drove all special needs kids) almost exactly one year ago when we were getting ready to move. With the chocolates I included some bright yellow mums. She was so excited. I don't think she had ever received a gift of recognition. It was a sweet moment when she said goodbye to my boy.
ReplyDeleteI see in the comments you're emailing a PDF versus a JPG. If so, will you email me one, too? monicabmcook (at) hotmail (dot) com. Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this! I'm doing a wheels on the bus birthday party for my son on a very, low budget and with not much time at all to spare and this has definitely spruced up my weak decorations and didn't take any time at all! I think I'm going to try and white out the "we wheelie appreciate you" and write happy birthday instead. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that I could make your day a little easier. Good luck with the birthday celebrations!
DeleteI'm doing a "wheels on the bus" birthday party for my son. These are great, but I can't get these to print either. Can you email it to me? shortm3@comcast.net Thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these. Did you create a black & white version? If so can you email me both versions, I willing to purchase. Bus drivers often get overlooked so this is awesome!!!

ReplyDeleteThis is perfect for our bus driver for the end of the school year! But for some reason I cannot get the JPG file to print. If you have a PDF and could email it I would love it. evollberg@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteHi! Please email it to keep as well. Marisolposh@hotmail.com. thank you! !

Could you send it to me as well please? I am unable to download the file. My e-mail is hakeber95@msn.com. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have printed them but they are to small to go around the nuggets. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteI am having the same problem. I printed them and they are to small. I really want to use them but can't. :(
ReplyDeleteI don't know why some people have trouble printing these. It must be some kind of setting on their computer/printer. I would love to send you the file. I just need an email address.
DeleteHi! Love the bus! It's perfect for a party I'm planning but I can't print it out. Is it possible for you to send it to me? jscarfi@hazlet.org Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteI too am having an issue adjusting the size...Can you please send the file to me directly rhondas@dutchmaid.com
Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteYour busses are so cute. Perfect for the bus drivers in our town. I can’t open the document and am hoping you can send me the PDF if you still have it. I know you posted this years ago. Whatever you do I would so appreciate . I, like you would rather the pdf without the wheels but again whatever you can do I would be so grateful.
You are very creative thanks for sharing your ideas,
Enjoy your day,

Julie,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to have found your adorable buses. I need to do presentation to our Board Meeting on Monday and these would be amazing. If you get this, can you please send me the PDF file. I really would appreciate it as my 12 year old son has already agreed to help assemble them because he thought they were cool!
Thanks,
Sandy

Thanks so much!

I have not been able to download the file. I am an early childhood special education teacher and we would love to give these to our wonderful bus drivers! Any help would be appreciated!
ReplyDeleteI am having trouble opening this incredibly cute pdf file. I know this is a super old post but would you happen to have the original file still available and have time to send it to me at marygrace_allen@hotmail.com? If not, I completely understand! :) You are so creative!!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
Hello! I am so excited to see these! I signed up for the box website; however, when I click "download", nothing happens. Are you still willing to email the pdf?
ReplyDeleteI too couldn't download the PDF.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing this adorable printable. So many people want to make a profit and sell these downloadable files on etsy. While I appreciate their business sense, I MUCH MORE appreciate your generosity in providing such an adorable craft. We did these with my daughters yesterday and they kept saying how cute this is. Thank you so much for your adorable ideas and your providing free access to them without charge and without making me sign up to be on some email list. You are few and far between! There should be more like you.
ReplyDeleteCan't seem to print it either. It cuts the page off. I've tried flipping it to landscape & still no luck. If you would be able to send the file, I'd appreciate it as well. Otherwise, our driver with end up with only 2 candies. :( Thanks so much. julie_caine@hotmail.com

ReplyDeleteThe link takes me to an Etsy listing to purchase the file? I was so very hoping this would be a free printable. My soon-to-be 3 year old is obsessed with the Magic School Bus, and I wanted these to be her favor to give away at her party. If you could email it to me for free, that would be AMAZING.
ReplyDeletebscott99@gmail.com

DeleteWould love the pdf file as well. eanesdl@gmail.com
ReplyDeletePreparing for a presentation and these are just adorable!!!
The link takes me to an Etsy listing to purchase the file...the link on Pinterest said it was a free printable. Is there another link? I really want to make these for my students as a Welcome Back treat.
ReplyDeleteMy kid keeps on complaining about the everyday travel that he has to go through. Plus, my daily life is not letting me help him with regular pick and drop. But this blog has helped me with a valid transportation option for my kid. I am surely going to try and will suggest co-parents as well. You must also connect to http://ngfalcondubai.ae

The number of top private schools in Bhopal are also increasing as many parents wants to give the best education to their children.
