Popsicle Stick Race Track For Toy Cars
Moving day is here! Seriously – the movers are here and I’m hiding in a corner trying to avoid the chaos. Seriously – this is my least favorite part of the PCS journey and my laptop is my solitude at this point. UGH.
Anyways – before we hit the road in a few short days, I wanted to share a quick and inexpensive DIY “toy” idea I recently came up with to entertain my son while we move this month.
As you may have noticed on the blog, I’m a lover of wooden craft sticks and this Popsicle Stick Race Track idea is my latest way to use up those one million popsicle sticks I have inherited in the past year.
So without further ado – here is how I made this awesome Popsicle Stick Race Track that is perfect for little boys to drive their cars on, rearrange however they like AND pack up with ease!
Happy creating my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your impressive race tracks if you do decide to recreate this craft idea! Come find us on Facebook! #gluedtomycrafts
