Crafting Your Own Vehicle
Cardboard box cars are the ultimate easy project for a kid or adult to do. You can build one using cardboard, duct tape, cardboard, and a paper template, and you’ve got a fun toy to play with. If you are planning to make a cardboard box vehicle, the important thing is first to decide on the vehicle you want.
This may be a fire truck, an airplane, a police car, or a pirate boat. Then you must decide how big you want the vehicle to be. A police car is a small vehicle, so this is a good place to start. Then you have to make the different parts of your vehicle. The shape of the box is what determines how the vehicle will look. You can draw the shape of your vehicle on a piece of paper.
Cardboard is one of the most versatile materials around. It’s cheap, easy to work with, and, best of all, you can reuse it. It’s no wonder it’s becoming the toy of choice for so many parents. Instead of buying or making more expensive toys, you can reuse cardboard boxes to make cute, simple toys for your kids that will last as long as they’re having fun.
