3D Cardboard Car

3D Cardboard Car

Posted 2014-08-11 by Jane Streetfollow
Create an easy 3D vehicle from a child's drawing on a piece of cardboard.



Time: 15 minutes
Age: Any age
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Cardboard (we used a cereal packet)
  • Pen
  • Scissors
  • Decoration items

  • Method
  • Draw a car, bus, truck etc in the middle of a piece of cardboard. My daughter drew a car and we also made a van together.





  • Draw a roughly rectangular strip at the bonnet end of the car. This will help stabilise the finished vehicle.



  • Fold over the cardboard at the top of the vehicle.
  • Cut around the vehicle through both pieces of the folded card. Cut through the top of the fold of the vehicle but not the extra rectangular strip.



  • Open out to get two cars and a linking bonnet (the rectangular strip)



  • Draw and cut out two pieces (roughly rectangular) to join the cars. This should be slightly wider than the bonnet strip.



  • Cut two slits in each linking piece, the same distance apart as the length of the linking bonnet strip. Cut two matching at both ends of each car.
  • Slide a joining piece between each car at each end, linking up the slits.





  • Your vehicle is now ready to decorate as you choose.
