Make this car craft for kids while reading these Fun Books:
Step 1: Download and Print the Free Paper Car Template
Download the Free Paper Car Template. You will be stapling the templates to sheets of colored paper and cutting out shapes up to 10 at a time.
Step 2: Staple and Cut Out the Car Shapes
Once you have the print outs, staple them to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.
Did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.
Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.
Tip: While you’re cutting, if you’ve cut off all parts of the pages that have staples, make sure to re-staple the sheets that are left.
Whenever you’re cutting multiple sheets at a time, make sure they are always stapled together!
Step 3: How to Assemble
The kids will just need to glue it all together and make it their own!
I recommend having a paper car that is already put together so the children can see what the final version will look like.
- Glue the wheels onto the race car body. Make sure to just glue the top of the wheels.
- Glue the white hubcaps onto the wheels.
- Glue the orange flame onto the car body.
- Glue the white number circle onto the orange flame.
- Use a marker to personalize your race car by adding a number.
- Use a marker to color in the dome windshield.
- Don’t forget to put your name on the back.

And you’re finished!
It took me about 10 minutes to have the supplies for 20 kids. How amazing is that?!
Now you’re ready to take your Race Car craft to your event. This would be a great craft for a transportation lesson, preschool, Scouts or just a fun school party idea.
