Our children have got almost every type of toys but not many
stuck around. The only things they play on regular basis are Legos, Puzzles and……
CARS!!! Even my daughter plays with cars and to much of our surprise, sleeps
with them! Yes, you read it right!
During the lockdown, Cars were everywhere around the house.
I had enough and thought to put them in one place but still have a Play-Friendly
Object.
So, for Collaboration I decided to go with Car Park Garage.
There are not much supplies you will need to make it. Its basically a Recycle and Reuse Project. You can make it under 2 hours, In shaa Allah.
You will need:
Cardboard Boxes
Empty Roll Tubes (I saved from aluminum foil and wax paper)
Tin Cans (if they are of required height)
Pencil or Marker
Ruler
Paper Cutter
Glue Gun
Lets Make It
For base, I used Avokado Delivery box. Its quite large and sturdy. But its height was taller than needed. Time to cut it off.
Mark the required height from bottom, cut along the line
with Paper cutter.
Cut out the small bottom flaps.
Glue in all corners to make the box sturdy.
Then I marked for Entrance and Exit for cars, taking measurements from the biggest car in children’s collection. Cut out with cutter.
For 1st level, I used flat box of puzzle. First, I decided where I want it on Base box, then marked for entrance and exit. I cut only the sides and folded the flap downwards.
For 2nd level, I wanted to make way from inside, so
I marked in center of Puzzle box lid and cut along three sides and creased it
downwards.
From tubes, cut pillars to support 1st and 2nd level according to desired height. Cut enough to support the weight of cars.
First glue the tubes to underside of 2nd level and 1st level.
Then glue 1st level to base. Cut and glue a cardboard rectangle to join base and 1st level.
Glue tubes of 2nd level to 1st. Cut and glue a rectangle from cardboard to 2nd level flap.
If you have helicopter, why not make a Helipad!
Glue a can or tube on top and a cardboard piece on it. Make a slope for fun!
Your CAR PARK GARAGE is ready. Your children will love to play with it like Mine, I am sure!
Here is a 360-degree view of CAR PARK.
You can use different boxes for different heights, and it
will be fun to play with!
And do not be a scrooge in using glue gun, after all,
children are supposed to play with it (wink, wink)
Give it a try and do not forget to share it with me on Instagram
