Make a Kid Race CarMATERIALS INSTRUCTIONS: Prepare the Box - Start with one rectangular box for each party guest. If the box has flaps, cut them off with the craft knife. Turn the box upside down and cut out a square area on one side of the bottom (now the top of your race car) big enough to accommodate a child. Paint Your Race Car - Spray paint your box a bright color - red, blue, green, yellow, or orange. Attach "Suspenders" - Using the staple gun, staple heavy ribbon from end to end on either side of the box as "suspenders" to allow kids to wear their cars. Add Wheels - Choose four plastic plates to make two wheels on either side of the box. Use a contrasting color to the color of the race car box itself. Fasten the plates with brads so the wheels will turn. Add another plate on top of the box to make a functioning steering wheel. Add Headlights and Tail Lights - Cut two circles of yellow construction paper and glue to the front of the car for headlights. Cut two smaller circles of red construction paper and glue to the rear end of the car for tail lights. Make an Exhaust Pipe - Make an exhaust pipe from a toilet paper tube with crepe paper streamers. Attach the tube to the car by making a series of cuts around one end of the tube, flaring it out against the back of the car, and securing with masking tape. Personalize Your Race Car - using colored construction paper shapes, markers, foam numbers and letters. Add one of these awesome personalized race car driver helmets and your kid is ready to burn up the track!!!
