It was so much fun to do. It took two Saturdays to get the Cars all painted and the stanchions and speakers made and painted. Stanchions were small oatmeal boxes taped together, the speakers were cracker jack boxes and they were painted black. We used colored yarn for the wires.

Use your imagination to make the cars. Paper plates for steering wheels, and tires, small paper dessert plates for the head lights, tail lights. We went to the grocery stores and asked them when would be a good time to pick up their large empty cardboard boxes. Like the kind tpaper and paper towels come in, etc. Then we had some of the parents go and collect them.

We had the kids do the poster painting out in the parking lot. Way easier to clean up afterwords. Also had the primary kids wear swim suits- shorts and old, old shirts really, way easier to clean them up too!
