For various exhibitions of crafts and just for playing with children, you can make cars from cardboard. These can be small table toys, as well as large floor ones, in which the child can fit himself. Children love to help make and color while creating a purpose for the craft. It could be ambulance, a firefighter or a character from the cartoon "Cars".

In this article we will look at how to make a cardboard machine with your own hands from different materials.

Cardboard cylinder machine

The materials needed to assemble such a desk toy will require a hard cardboard cylinder left over from using toilet paper. Before making a small car out of cardboard, you need to use a knife to make a rectangular hole in its central part, which is intended for the driver. There is no need to cut off the paper completely - the backrest for the seat is made from the strip that is obtained in the center. The steering wheel can be cut separately from another cardboard.

All that remains is to attach the wheels. Before you make a car out of cardboard, you need to buy thick sheets of paper from which the wheels will be made. To make them stronger, it is recommended to glue them together from several layers. Then the child will be able to press on the toy with his hand without fear of bending the product.

The wheels are attached in pairs with bolts or buttons. The parts are painted separately, then everything is put together.

Cart

Let's look further at how to make a cardboard machine into which you can load toys, and it will play the role of a cart. It is better to make them from corrugated cardboard using small metal rods. You can take them from another broken machine or take them from waste material.

For the main design, you can choose a ready-made cookie box or assemble it according to a simple pattern for making rectangular boxes.

The wheels are mounted on an axle. Several layers of wire are wound onto the ends of a metal rod. This serves as a stop for the cardboard circles to prevent the wheels from falling off. It can be painted in different colors according to the child's wishes. A rope is tied at the front and the cart is ready.

How to make a car out of cardboard: diagram

Printed diagrams are now available for sale different models cars made of cardboard. These are well-known and popular cars of foreign and Russian companies. If you have a color printer, you can print them from websites.

Before you make a car out of cardboard, you need to carefully cut it along the contour with scissors, not forgetting the white corners, on which a layer of glue is then spread.

Assembling such a model is not difficult. You just need to carefully iron it with your finger at the folds of the paper. But it will be just a static toy, the child’s entire interest is in assembling and cutting out the model. You can collect them for the sake of collection and keep them under glass in a closet.

Garage for cars

If you already have several homemade cars, then you need to keep them somewhere. It is necessary to build a garage or parking for cars. Before you make a garage for cars out of cardboard, you need to select a box of corrugated material of the size we need.

All sides are left, and the top side is cut off completely. The box is turned upside down. Large square holes are cut out on the side for cars to enter.

If you are making a parking lot, then you need to mark out spaces for cars on the roof and, of course, make a convenient exit for them. Children love to roll cars on slides, so an externally placed strip of cardboard glued to one of the sides of the garage can easily play this role.

You can improve your parking lot by adding curbs or garage doors, and painting it beautifully. It’s interesting to cover the box with colored paper, or you can paint it with markers or gouache paints.

Big fire truck

To make such a specialized machine, you need to select a box made of corrugated cardboard. It should not be too thin and high, because the truck is a package turned on its side. Before making a cardboard machine, you need to carefully glue the sides with tape so that the slot is not visible.

Then you need to cut a hole on top so that the hero firefighter can be placed in the car. The wheels can be cut out from another box and simply glued to the bottom of the car. If you want to make them spin, then you need to figure out what they will be mounted on. You can use wooden round flag sticks, for example.

All that remains is to colorfully paint all sides of the fire truck, decorating them with small details: stairs, headlights, windshield, white stripes, you can write a phone number to call the fire department. It is often written on such cars.

Don't forget to applique the warning lights. To do this, use strips of yellow paper rolled into cylinders.

Floor machine for children

Children really love all sorts of large containers - boxes, barrels, even cabinets where they can hide or just climb into. Therefore, before making a car out of cardboard for the child himself, you need to check whether it will fit there, think about where the baby can stretch his legs to make it comfortable.

One box is not enough; you will need at least two, and preferably three, as in the photo below. The trunk and hood of the car are made of two whole boxes, sealing their slots with tape. But you will have to work hard on the middle part. If the child does not fit in the center of the car, he has nowhere to put his legs, then he will need to cut off one side of the box from the middle and also the side of the hood adjacent to it. Then the child, sitting in the center of the structure, will be able to stretch his legs into the space of the first box.

The windshield of a convertible is cut out of the sash by making a rectangular hole in it. Wheels and headlights can simply be glued onto the frame.

As you can see, do these interesting crafts It’s not at all difficult to do it yourself, and the baby’s joy will be endless. The main thing is not to be lazy and want to bring joy to your child.

Every girl undoubtedly has her own favorite doll. But it’s so boring to just play with one single toy. It is necessary to create a whole doll world in order for the child to find it interesting and educational. You will learn how to make a car for dolls out of cardboard in the material below.

In this article we will look at several master classes on creating not just toys, but real vehicles - cars from cardboard for dolls. After all, using your personal transport you can go to visit a friend and go on a magical journey.

First of all, you need to decide on the size and model of the future car. Perhaps it will be a feminine passenger car, or maybe a car for real men – a fire truck. It all depends on the desires and needs of your child, and our task is only to help make a child’s dream come true.

Car for Barbie

An equally cute pink car will suit a cute and gentle Barbie doll.

Below we will look at a detailed master class on how to make a car for Barbie out of cardboard. First you need to prepare the tools and materials:

  • a cardboard box (a shoe box will do);
  • sheets of white and colored cardboard;
  • colored paper;
  • glue;
  • double sided tape;
  • wooden skewers;
  • a small piece of transparent plastic for the windshield;
  • decorations for headlights and the entire car.

It is necessary to prepare a pattern drawing in order to indicate the side doors.

It’s better to make it with the participation of the doll itself - put it in an imaginary car and take measurements.

We apply the template to the long sides of the box, outline and make diagonal cuts according to the drawing.

We bend the resulting parts inside the box; they will be useful for attaching car seats.

We cover the box with colored paper, in this case we use pink.

We also cover the parts bent inward with paper.

From thick cardboard we cut out 4 circles with a diameter of 6 centimeters.

We will also prepare 4 circles of colored black cardboard, these will be the wheels of the car.

Glue colored circles onto cardboard ones.

We make a hole in the center of the circles using a needle or awl and try to insert the skewers into the wheels.

We make the hood and trunk; for this you can create drawings or immediately take measurements and transfer them to cardboard.

Don't forget to allow allowances of a few centimeters in order to glue the parts onto the car.

Glue the hood and secure it with clothespins and a heavy weight.

We mark the location of all four wheels, make holes and insert skewers.

In the same way, we form a trunk that goes into the car seat, carefully glue it and fix it. It is better to glue the part in parts so that, if necessary, you can correct any imperfections.

We form a blank for the hood with a transparent film for greater clarity.

After all the parts have dried, we cover the remaining part with colored paper.

From black cardboard we cut out the missing parts - the seat, bumper and hood.

We glue thick cardboard onto the seat and only then glue the prepared part from black paper or cardboard. We also glue the hood and windshield with double-sided tape.

We glue the remaining parts at our discretion.

We put the wheels on the inserted skewers and cut them to length.

The steering wheel and headlights can be made from buttons, and the handles or the entire car can be decorated with rhinestones.

A cardboard and paper car for Barbie is ready!

A similar car can be made for larger dolls from cardboard box from various household items - microwave oven, toasters and other household items.

Boys are unlikely to like a car for girls, but for them you can make an almost real fire truck with your own hands from scrap materials.

Fire truck

The photo below shows all the materials that will be useful in production and that are easy to find in any home.

In addition, you will need: tape, glue, gouache, napkins or thin paper, thin tubes (cocktail tubes are suitable).

From the box you need to form the base of the car, gluing the blanks together with masking tape.

We make fenders for wheels and water tanks from cardboard reels and also glue them to the structure of the car.

We form wheels from the remaining reels - we place soft paper inside, seal the edges and wrap with corrugated cardboard.

We make a fire escape and hoses from matches and thin tubes and glue them to the car in the same way, while we cover the almost finished car with napkins so that the paint goes on smoother and the structure seems like a single whole.

We paint our car - the fire escapes and the central part of the stakes - silver, the headlights and windows - white, and the car itself, of course, red.

This craft allows the child to show his imagination and independently attach the parts he needs for the game.
