Best of 2008 Count down ! #5
Custom Roadway
I originally posted this in the summer, my son still plays with it daily, it is still in great condition and I have since made a second one, with a Home Depot and a Church ( my son’s favorite destinations). A friend did a cool version of it with sharpies as a outline and her son colored it in, very cute! I wonder what activity will be number 4?
- Gather your materials . You will need a brown paper grocery bag, black, green and any other color you choose construction paper, double sided tape , glue, scissors, colored pencils and contact paper.
- Cut your bag open so it’s wide , trim the bottom piece off and save for later.
- Using black paper and yellow colored pencil design your roadway.
- Once you have decided on the design , cut it out . Cover your bag with green construction paper, glue it down, then tape your roadway down I say tape because you may want to move it , tape is easier to move.
- Start adding scenery like a pond.
- You can use the extra grocery bag paper to make a house or other buildings too.
- Tape your scenery down.
- Add a contact paper cover to make it sturdy and keep everything in place.
- Add some Hotwheels and have hours of fun!

Oh how fun! I would have LOVED to make this as a kid. So many fun possibilities!
I’m excited to find your site. I am a former early childhood teacher and am now a stay at home mom-I’m always looking for great activities to do with my boys.
Both of my kids are obsessed with cars – I’m going to have to make this with them! Will be great for a snow day.
