The boys and I have been busy doing homeschool projects and making fun new activities for their cousins to play with. I have really let the boys be as creative as they want to be with their projects, and I couldn’t be more proud of them. My nephew has a newfound love for toy cars, so one of my boys thought it would be fun to make a car track for his cousins to enjoy. So, we found a drink box in the garage and gathered some paint and made a fun little DIY Toy Car Track!
Here’s a few more craft ideas to make out of old boxes!
DIY Toy Car Track Project
Supplies:
- 1 Box Lid or Drink Box Flat.
- Paint and Paint Brush.
- Small Cars.
- Pencil.
- Optional – Construction paper, scissors, and glue.
My son decided the Box Car Track should have a lake and grassy area, so he made a Figure-Eight style roadway. He placed two small cars side by side to determine how wide the track needed to be, and used a pencil to draw it out.

Once he was happy with the layout, he painted the track. After the track dried, he painted yellow divider lines on the roadway, and then painted a lake a grassy area in the middle.
He decided to include some construction paper in the box so my niece and nephew could add construction paper trees, stop signs, and a dock on the lake. I loved that he wanted to share the creative experience with his cousins.
That’s it! I hope I have inspired you to recycle some of the boxes you may have in your home to make a fun project with your little car lover!
