Making a Cardboard Ice Cream Truck Wagon

First get 4 empty thread spools. Glue 2 thread spools together. Do this again to make 2 sets of 2. Cut out 4 cardboard wheels. In the center of each wheel, poke a large hole in each of them, large enough for a pencil to spin inside of it. Take a straw, a skewer, dowel, pencil, large twigs, etc and put it through the cardboard wheel, the spool and the 2nd's wheel so that it starts looking like wheels on an axel. Then get some clay or play dough and put it on the outside of both wheels so that they can't fly off. Now do this again for the 2nd set of wheels. Glue s 2 small boxes to a larger piece of cardboard on the bottom....so that there is a smape in the center to see all the way through. This is where the ice cream man will give you the ice cream. Glue another piece of larger cardboard on the top as well...for the roof. Now glue the axels to the bottom of the boxes. When it has dried...you can paint the ice cream truck. Then you can test drive it. Make adjustments if it doesn't roll.

Making a Motorized Dump Truck Craft

I made a rubberband powered dump truck from household items and I thought I would share with you how I did this. First get a container or a box that you can use as the base of the truck. For the axels, I used markers, glued together so that they wouldn't come apart. I made sure that the markers stayed together by using heavy tape around each seam. For the wheels I used Butter spray caps and spools from an old vcr tape. I poked holes int he base of the truck (the container). I put the axels through the holes and then I glued on the wheels. Now cut a hole in the front of the truck (on the container). Use tape all around the inside of this hole so it doesn't get bigger. Now loop 3 rubberbands together and tie it around the back wheel's axels by looping it around itself....electrical tape it to these markers as well. Then tie it to the front hole that you made. Now to make it work, just roll the back wheels towards you as you move backwards. Let go when it starts pulling really hard on the front of the car. Zoom.....put the finishing details on the truck.
