Racing Cars

What You Need:

Child safety scissors

Styrofoam egg carton

Permanent black marker

Small stickers/coloured tape

White paper plates (1 large, and 1 small)

Black tempera paint

Paintbrush

Toothpicks

Tape

Paper fasteners (Adult supervision here!)


What You Do:

1. To make race cars, cut out six sections from the egg carton, trimming each around the sides. Draw on windows and doors. Put a different sticker, strip of tape, or number on top of each car.
   
   
2. Cut away the rim from the small paper plate. Paint the top of the plate black, leaving the outer edge white. Turn the large paper plate upside down and paint the bottom black, leaving an edge of the rim white. Let it dry.
   
   
3. Poke a toothpick through the sides of each car. Tape the other end of the toothpick under a small plate.
   
   
4. Ask a grown-up to poke a hole in the centre of both plates. Attach the plates with a paper fastener. Turn the top plate to start the race.
