The Process:
Step 1: Building the car
Step 2: Testing the car
Step 3: Painting the car
Step 4: Painting flames on the car with Daddy
Step 5: Painting the car some more (yes, he's thorough)
And voila! A finished (I hope) masterpiece!
I've had to keep reminding myself that he's four and it's his car. It'll build his confidence to let him do it however he wants and it is his project, not mine. I'm just the hired help (paint bottle opener, clean up crew, etc). He obvously loves to paint and has been so excited to have the freedom to do it!

The car is fabulous, and I love that you let him have so much input. I get frustrated at the parents that I saw at the preschool where I taught - the ones who wanted so much for everything to look perfect and all PotteryBarnKids-worthy that the kids weren't even allowed to help with things like this!
I think this is the best Lightning McQueen I've seen - and I hope the Transportation Derby is/was a blast!
It's fantastic! My Dad and I made a cardboard hut once when we got a new fridge when I was 5. It was the coolest thing ever. :)
I came over from Shara's blog...my nine year old son was peaking over my shoulder while I was visiting this post, and told me to tell you he loves that car! LOL. His favorite playstation game is Cars. Nice job...looked like a lot of fun to make. :) We've made a few cardboard box toys in the past as well.
