On Track
Make this toy-car racetrack with just a few simple cuts. Add sections from other boxes for longer tracks. Embellish with duct tape, then glue on card-stock- and-pipe-cleaner flames.
How to make it: From the front and back of a cereal box, cut and remove a rectangle that's 2 inches in from each edge. Make a diagonal cut at each corner, and flatten the strip for the road.
