Recycled Race Car

   This recycled race car will give you hours of enjoyment and will double as a toy box when your kids are done with it!  It was another rainy day when thought of  this old favorite.  Like any boy, my little guy LOVES to 'play cars'.  It doesn't matter how old, beat up or how many missing wheels there are-a car is a car to a two year old.

Materials:

  • One cardboard box (usually the grocery or liquor store will give you one, or several, if you just ask!)
  • Spray Paint (you only need one color, and any you have on hand is fine.)
  •  Two paper plates (Styrofoam works, too.)
  • Black sharpie
  • Washable markers
  • Crayons
  • Stickers (we used 'transportation' themed stickers but any kind will do.)
  • 4 Brads (if you don't have these, and don't want to make a special trip for them, you can use glue instead.) 
  • One excited kid!
