Why would you throw a box? When a box can become so many interesting things. A box is an endless source of play and games.
Look at what we did from the lawn mower box 🙂
Another car, but a toy car, a car out of a simple box.
Children, let us not forget to thank God for the imagination He has given us. With her and our little hands, even if we don’t have the most expensive toys, we can make them from even the most comun things we have around the house.

how to proceed
1. We take the box and remove all the parts we don’t need.
* we will use the part of the second picture for another game, so maybe it would be better to keep it
When the box looks like this, it means I’m done cutting. And as you can see, it’s already good to play with.
2. We happened to have a thin piece of polystyrene around the house, left since we put the laminate floors. It was perfect for making the “wheels” of our car out of a cardboard box.
3. After we have outlined the wrapping paper according to the dimensions of the box, we will stick it to the outer sides of the box.
From the leftovers from cutting the polystyrene wheels, we also cut a few buttons for the “board” of our car from a cardboard box.
4. We have reached the long-awaited stage – let’s glue the wheels! –
5. But the most awaited of all is the steering wheel, which of course has to move. We took a cardboard plate, we had a red one. With the help of a needle made of it with a large plastic stretcher, we fixed the “steering wheel” in the “dashboard” of our car.
Our car is ready and because it is quite big and spacious we still have room!
How about this idea!?
What do your cars look like in a simple cardboard box ?!
With joy,
Oana and the happy dwalfs
