Cardboard Race Car

Isn't it amazing how something as simple as playing together can light up our kids' faces?

Today, let's indulge in a bit of that magic with a relaxed, fun-filled activity: crafting our very own cardboard race cars!

Activity of the day

Cardboard Race Car

Turn an ordinary box into an extraordinary adventure.

What you’ll need:

• A big cardboard box

• Your favorite paints and brushes

• Duct tape for durability

• Scissors or a box cutter for the grown-ups

• Any fun decorations you have around (stickers, markers, etc.)

Building Your Dream Car:

1. Start by cutting the top flaps off the cardboard box to shape your car.

2. Grab those paints and let your creativity flow. Whether it's race stripes or polka dots, make it uniquely yours.

3. Use duct tape to give your car some extra strength and a neat finish.

4. Decorate it with stickers, drawings, or whatever makes you smile.

5. Finally, create some shoulder straps with duct tape so your little racer can wear their car and zoom around.

Building this cardboard race car is all about enjoying the time you spend with your child. There's no rush, no right or wrong way to do it – just a fun, creative journey you're taking together. It's a chance to chat, laugh, and maybe even reminisce about your own childhood memories.

So, let's make the most of this day. Grab that cardboard box and start crafting your very own race car. It's not just about the car; it's about the smiles, the giggles, and the stories you'll share along the way.
