Cardboard roll car craft for kids

Cardboard roll car craft for kids

Posted on April 15, 2023 by jenny

I’ve been promising a car craft for kids for a while. The F1 season started a few weeks ago and my family have been avidly watching the races. We’ve also been trying to eat a dish from the country the race takes place, which has been a lot of fun! Today I’m sharing our cardboard roll car craft. You can use any kind or cardboard tube for this craft, just cut it to a size approximately 10cm long,

Cut out the pieces for the cardboard roll car using the templates and card.

Take a red coloured craft paper and wrap the cardboard roll with it. Then glue the wrap to secure it.
