Cardboard Car Park...

I found this idea on Pinterest and immediately knew Tom and I had to make it. The original source is from B-inspired Mamma Tom enjoys cars and he loves numbers so the combination of the two kept him busy for ages.

First we found a large cardboard lid and drew on car parks with a black text. We numbered each car park. We found 10x cars and labelled each car with a white sticky label.

The photos say it  all!

Thanks for playing craft with me...

Car run...

Tom and I saw a cardboard ball run featured on a happy wanderer  and delighted in the simpleness of it.  We made one for his small  toy cars using a pizza box cut open and cardboard rolls cut in half then taped on. We had to have a trial run as we stuck the rolls down to ensure the cars went from one level to the next.

There is nothing like cardboard and sticky tape to while away the time with a child.

Cardboard Box Car Wash...

For those people lucky who live in Australia, the children's TV show,  Play School, has fabulous ideas and has been a source of wonderment for my children.

My 3yo, Tom, loved an episode from a show we watched together yesterday which featured a car wash.  So of course there was no time before we pulled out mop heads, cardboard boxes and sticky tape and made our very own car wash.

Tom played with it all day so that says it all!

Thanks for playing in my craft cupboard...
