Banana Box Race Cars

Today we had a playdate to show everyone how to make these awesome race car boxes because everyone loved them so much at Aidman's birthday party.

We take a regular ole banana box (that I get free at the local grocery store). I cut the center hole alittle bigger and add handles to the sides.

I like to paint them white first because it makes the paint stand out better. Kinda like priming the box.


Decorate to your liking.

And you have an awesome race box!

These boxes show alittle better how I cut them (on top and between the holes on the sides).

Then start racing.

As you can see, for the party I had put on rope for the kids to put over their shoulders. I noticed that the kids had a hard time with them and it just worked much better with them only holding onto the handles.
