Step 5Time for Painting.

Time for Painting.
If your little helper is on hand then help them to see where you want to have things painted. Use the sharpie to draw on the plates where you want them to paint. Encourage them to paint up to the edges. Its not going to matter if they go over the edge since your cutting to fit anyway.



Black Paint time.

Take a paper plate and cut in Half. Before you cut the inside of the plate away paint the crinkled border black and you can use the inside of the plate to hold onto, meaning less paint on fingers. When its dry you can cut the inside away and now you have the Roll bar for the back of the car.

Take two of the carboard toilet rolls and paint them black these will be the exhausts.

Take two plates and paint the pupils in.

Take one of the unused paper plates and paint an open mouth grin ( this is the inside of the mouth ) . Dont use the whole plate just paint a large mouth across the base of the plate.

When the Flower pots are dry paint them Black around the sides but leave the bottoms unpainted.


Blue Paint time.

Take two of the of the cardboard toilet rolls and paint about 3/4 of them blue to match the main body colour.

On the two paper plates used for the Eyes paint a thick blue line around the inside of the plate ( not the crinkled border because your going to cut that away ) Also paint the back of those plates.


Silver Paint time

Paint the bases of the flower pots Silver, to make the hubs
Paint the remaining unpainted ends of the toilet rolls silver for the spoilers
Paint the Lips of the mouth to make the smile


Yet more time for drying.
