Boxcar Sunday
What to do when my little consumer wanted a car for his Luigi doll, excuse me I mean, “action plushie”? Well, get crafty, of course! A couple of hours, some paints, and a lesson in recycling later–and we had ourselves a cardboard box, turned Mario Cart!
(I love how his first instinct was to pose like John Cusack in “Say Anything”.)
Thanks to Kathy, we had the *exact* colors we needed in Crafty Chica paints to convert our Converse container into a regular ol boxcar!
Per Tristan’s instructions, I cut out a hole for Luigi to sit in, leaving a back piece for him to lean on. Bonus: when you open the lid, the car transforms into a bed! You know, because Luigi gets tired from racing. 😉
We may be in the day of video games and high-tech toys– but it’s good to know that sometimes a plain old box, still does the trick. Recycle. Reuse. Recreate…with your kids.xo, Vickie
