Wow! Making and painting these colourful wooden vehicles was a real treat. Who would have thought one could have so much fun?! We made these as a Christmas gift for our granddaughter and if she has half as much fun playing with them as we did making them she\u2019ll have a ball!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each one is different with several styles of cars and trucks. And look at those colours, aren\u2019t they great! There\u2019s a red one, a blue one, an orange one, a pink one, a green one and a yellow one. They\u2019re so bright and colourful, especially with the black wheels and contrasting hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re roughly 4\u201d long, 1 3\/4\u201d wide and a maximum of 2\u201d high and made of local Birch hardwood. The process to make them was rather simple. After the patterns were made it was really just a matter of tracing the pattern on the piece of Birch lumber, cutting out the shapes, drilling the holes for the axles and then doing a bit of sanding and painting. Using ready made hardwood wheels and axles made it super easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
