Cars
The Cars are great fun for children to pretend to drive. You will need small tyres along with 6” bolts and a 120 litre metal barrel and budget paint. You will need to cement inside the barrels and the steering wheel pole, there is no need for cementing the tyres as you can compact the earth to form the foundation. Make sure you have at least 1.5 metres of space around the Cars.
