Craft: How to make a box car
Step 1: How to make a box car
Find a large cardboard box. (We bought ours from a moving supply store for $5.) Cut a square out of the box, but leave about a third behind for the hood.
Step 2: How to make a box car
Paint four paper plates black and silver for the wheels; set aside to dry. Use non-toxic acrylic paint to transform the boring cardboard into a shiny new car.
Step 3: How to make a box car
Once the paint has dried, attach the wheels with glue. Let each kid use markers or paint to trick out their rides with cute details like headlights., racing stripes and licence plates. Attach a basket for treats using bulldog clips.
