My daughter has to make a carboard car for school. It is a competition and the winner of each class get's to put the car in the school fair. This car isnt going to be one that has to roll on the ground or anything like that but you cut out the bottom out of the cardboard box and then put straps on the top of the box and the child puts the straps over their shoulders.

I need ideas on some cool add on's for this thing and figured you guys would probably be the most creative. I know we are making a truck, its going to be pink with glitter, a cab where she will go with the straps and a bed w/ tailgate. For wheels she has this old car that she no longer fits in so I thought of pulling them off Cozy Coupe II Car from Little Tikes


Does anyone have any cool ideas to get some extra points and hopefully win this thing!!!!

 

Put stacks on it maybe get a recorder and record the sound of your truck starting up and have her stick it in her pocket

 

I thought about stacks but im afraid the teachers will look at it and wonder wtf it is. I was goint to do stacks and crumple up black paper to make it look like its smoking. I thought about making ranch hands.

 

make her a dodge truck with stacks and ranch hands.......

 

Can you put a bed on the back?
You should also put working lights in it and maybe a horn?
Dont forget the small things like door handles.

 

yea im allready planning on putting a bed on it with a tail gate., were gonna "rhino line" the bed (black paint). Right now im trying to find some lights to use as tail lights and headlights, someone sugested flash lights but I want something better than that. Plus the only flash lights we have are expensive and I dont want her to come home missing one or two.

 

Put a chrome exhaust tip at least.

 

yea im gonna try to find something to do atleast a 4in tip on it . I thought about the lights but want he to be the one doing most the work and just dont really know how I would do that. I thought about tracing a wrench on carboard and letting her cover it in aluminum foil for door handle's and maybe making a rear view mirror then hang a air freshener off of it

 

get the cheapo flash lights from the dollar store, they are like 1$ a piece....

 

what you could do is go to the dollar store buy lights then on the back put two exhaust pipes and do the black paper for the smoke and make a roll bar of something creative.
