Here is another super simple DIY toy that I made using an empty cardboard box - A Car Wash! With the level of obsession my little boy has for vehicles, I knew this one is going to be a super hit with him and it definitely is! :)
This little handmade toy is often played with love, by the little one for hours and it is a joy to see him lost in his little world of pretend play. The joy of DIY toys is unparallelled! It gives me such a sense of satisfaction when I am able to make something for my son to play with, using not much but scraps and simple stationery. I am thankful for my constant urge to create and for my passion for DIYing.
If you do have a little vehicle lover at home, and an empty cardboard box lying around, do yourself a favour and make a Car Wash right away! Hours of play for the little one and some me-time for you guaranteed :)
- I first cut open the top and sides of a cardboard box, leaving them attached at the bottom, thereby making a long path like at both openings.
- Then, I cut up some crepe paper in slits and stuck them on either ends of the opening of the box. I made slits on the crepe sheets. These will make the entrance and exit of the car wash.
- Then, I dressed the box pretty with some wrapping sheet.
- Stuck a little piece of thermocol and a little name banner on top using a bit of craft paper and toothpicks. Voila! Mini's little Car Wash is ready! :)
Hours of free play followed! And 2 months later, it is still being played with :)
