Chances are, we all have the one kid in our life that is obsessed with cars. Whether it is your son (in my case), a nephew, or a grandchild, there is always one child that seems to be into cars more than anyone else we know. Think of how much joy it would bring them to create a race car craft for him or her!

Make a fun race car craft today!

One of the best crafts you can make for a kid is a craft that grows with them. Sometimes we are tempted to make the “cute crafts” for our young girls and boys. They are great at the time, but unfortunately, our kids grow fast! Those cute crafts that used to be front and center in their rooms slowly disappear as they grow.

Yet inspirational quotes? Those can last forever! No one grows out of inspirational quotes. This is one of our favorite things about this race car craft. You could create this for a young boy in your life, or a kid that is about to graduate. No matter the age, this is a craft that can stay and be passed down for when they have a kid that loves speed just as much!
