Cardboard Costume Racer.

Creating a cardboard costume that looks like a character from a favourite TV show does not mean your limited to recreating people.

In this instructable I examine the steps previously provided from an activity magazine and filled in some of the blanks and assumptions that went into its creation, hence the documentation here.


This project was part of an activity for a 4 year old with a adult helper so expect paint to be in more places than just on the boxes.

Step 1 The Body of the Box.

We went to our local HobbyCraft store to buy some extra supplies and asked them if they had any suitable boxes for the body of the car.

We made sure that the box would fit over the head and shoulders of the little helper and that there was more than adequate space for the front where the bonnet would be folded back.

We chose a corrugated cardboard box since it is going to have stronger sides and survive the first few hours of painting and construction.
