Cardboard Car
Unleash Creativity on Wheels!
Let's turn your living room into a bustling highway with a DIY cardboard car project that's perfect for your little driver! This fun-filled craft brings together creativity and playtime by transforming ordinary cardboard into a spectacular play car.
What You'll Need:
Large cardboard boxes
Paints and brushes
Plates for wheels
Scissors or a box cutter
Glue and/or duct tape
Any extra decorations (stickers, markers, etc.)
Fun Audio Experiences for the Whole Family
Limiting screen-time is often at odds with your kids enjoying their favorite films and series. But not with Popcorn Brainstorm! Jokes & Trivia for Kids, the chart-topping Kids & Family podcast from Netflix. Featuring trivia, games and jokes about Netflix films and series, Popcorn Brainstorm is an audio experience that keeps everyone in the family connected, entertained and having fun.
Listen to episodes about Leo, Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, The Dragon Prince and many more!
Step-by-step Process:
Start by cutting the cardboard into the shape of a car. You can make it as simple or as detailed as you like, with cut-outs for doors and windows.
Hand the paintbrush over to your kids and let them design their dream car. Bright colors, racing stripes, or a funky pattern? It’s all up to them!
Attach plates or cut-out circles to the sides for wheels. Secure them well so they add to the overall look without falling off.
Use markers or stickers to add headlights, a grille, and maybe even a license plate with their initials.
Why You'll Love This Project
This activity isn't just about crafting; it's about bringing imaginative play to life. Once the car is ready, watch your child zoom around the house, navigate through imaginary cities, and even stop for the occasional "fuel up."
Extra Tips for an Epic Road Trip:
Create a whole fleet of cars for a group playdate.
Set up obstacles or create a parking lot with more recycled materials to enhance the play area.
