Here's a fun way to have a backyard movie party, complete with drive-in cars for the kids!
 |
Materials:
- Boxes big enough for kids to sit in
- Duct tape
- Masking tape
- Posterboard
- Spray paint
- Washi tape
- Small black paper plates or paint white ones
- Yellow construction paper
Instructions:
- Tape over any handle holes in the boxes with masking tape or duct tape. I went to my local grocery store for boxes and asked a worker in the produce department who was happy to share empty banana boxes.
- Cut poster board into rectangles the width of the box and duct tape it onto the box to make a snack holder.
- Spray paint the entire box. We used a couple of different colors so the cars weren't all matching.
- Use colored duct tape and washi tape to decorate.
- Glue 4 paper plates on the box as the wheels.
- Cut circles out of yellow construction paper and tape them on as headlights.
- Print out or draw license plates with the kids' names on them and tape them to the back of the box.
