Two clean and dry juice or milk boxes, some thin, flexible write, four matching plastic bottle caps, modelling clay, scissors, a magic marker, sellotape, and paint.
1. Draw the front and the windows of your car on one of the empty boxes.
2. Cut along the lines you have drawn. Ask an adult for help, if you need to.
3. To complete the front of the car, cut out the side of the second box. Then fold it and attach it to the front opening with sellotape.
4. Cut open the front window from the piece
you have just attached.
5. Make a hole in the centre of each of the four caps.(Ask an adult for help, if you need to)
6. Paint the car with your favourite colour. Make two small holes near the bottom of each side, for the wires that will hold the wheels together.
7. Run a piece of wire through a cap, then through two facing holes and the car’s sided. Place another cap on the other end of the wire. Do the same for the other two wheels. Cover the wire ends with little balls of modelling clay.
8. Step on the gas! Ride ahead!
Use your imagination: You can use juice boxes or milk containers to make all sorts of vehicles. Try making a train with small bottle caps, a bus with medium-size caps, or use really big bottles caps to make a tractor!
