Wednesday is craft day!!! I made this fun little toy for Aidan’s trucks and cars and thought I’d share 🙂
A little petrol pump!
 |
| I made this simple printable myself and if you want it (without the Aidy part) I will gladly modify and send it your way, just comment at the bottom 🙂 |
 |
| He had a blast |
 |
| See that little man fainted at sight of the petrol prices |
 |
| You will need a box the print out which is pretty easy to make coloured paper a peg contact plastic a split pin (those pins with the legs) The top of a bottle that has pump (I used a shampoo bottle) string |
 |
| cover the box in coloured paper |
 |
| poke a hole on the side of the box |
 |
| stick on the print out and cover the box with contact plastic |
 |
| Leave the top open, it serves as a way to fill the box with something heavy ( I use a bunch of blocks) to let it stand You can then take it out for easier storage. |
 |
| poke through the hole you made in paper |
 |
| put your string through |
 |
| Glue on a peg (this will hold the pump nozzle) |
 |
| Attach pump nozzle to string or rope or whatever |
 |
| cut an arrow out of card (this is from a flap on top of the box) |
 |
| Use your split pin to attach arrow |
 |
| like so |
 |
| almost forgot, I tied the string to a toothpick inside the box to keep it from coming out |
 |
| THERE YOU GO! |
This is so cute! My little guy is obsessed with cars and trucks–may have to make one of these!
Thanks Pam and it's easier than it looks 🙂
