Using recycled materials to make unique toys will help children develop creative thinking.
Among them, cars made from bottle caps and wooden clips will be environmentally friendly toys and promise to bring a lot of fun to children.
To make this toy, parents and children should prepare 4 plastic bottle caps, 2 wooden clips, 1 plastic stick (or bamboo stick instead), rubber bands and other basic tools such as scissors, glue, small awl...
Next, make the frame, using two wooden clamps to form the main body of the car. Place the two clamps parallel to each other and fix the distance with glue. Drill a small hole at the end of each clamp to attach to the axle.
Use a small awl or drill to make holes in the center of the bottle caps. Insert a plastic or bamboo stick through the holes in the caps to form the wheels. Attach the wheel axle to the drilled holes in the frame to ensure the wheels can rotate freely.
Tie one end of the elastic band to the rear axle. Pull the elastic band through the frame and secure the other end to a wooden clamp or other secure point. The elastic band will act as the main motor, helping the bike move by making it easier to turn the axle.
Check the joints to make sure the car works smoothly, and decorate it with some of your child's favorite accessories to make it look more lively.
