Homemade Barbie Cars

I have a feeling this is going to be a crafty summer. The morning started with the older girls playing Barbies. 3 girls, 1 car. The question arose if I would get out my cars? Now those cars are packed away in the attic as they are my grown daughter’s, so I told the girls we couldn’t do that. I also told them to give me a few minutes to see if I could come up with a solution. I should be able to solve this. A short time later I asked them if they might like to make cars from large oatmeal containers. A definite yes! Now to find those extra containers. With 2 in hand I also found a supply of tissue boxes, so those became an additional option. The car body was in place, so it’s off to the art supply closet for whatever other supplies of interest we can find. Then the creative construction was left up to the girls. They worked off and on all day with a good dose of outside play thrown in. Ended with some very creative Barbie cars.
