Cardboard Cars

We recently got a movie projector and we thought it would be fun to have a homemade drive-in theater. The kids and I made cars out of cardboard boxes.

STEP 1: Cut your car

Cut your carboard, fold it into the shape of the car that you want.

STEP 2: Cover your car

Select your preferred color or pattern of tape, and cover your car to support its shape.

STEP 3: Add wheels

Paper plates attached to the cardboard make this drive-in movie feel even more real.

STEP 4: Enjoy the show!

The duct tape not only gave the boxes some color, but made them more durable to withstand being sat in by my wiggly boys.
