The Kindergarten at Spanish Oaks Elementary participated in a really awesome activity. Each year they do Kindy 500. This is where each child (with a little help from their parents ;) creates a car or some other mode of transportation out of a cardboard box. They are open to create whatever they choose.
On the day of the "race" we, as parents, got to watch the kids perform a program and then they "drove across the country" in their cars. As the day progressed, they visited various historical landmarks from throughout the United States.
We had a ball creating Mikayla's Pink Glitter Convertible, though it looked a bit more like a jeep when it was finished. All of the kids helped and enjoyed themselves.
We even decided that we want to have a day of races at our home and let each of the kids create a car. We'll make a track in the backyard and have fun all day!
I am fully anticipating chaos, but it will be so much fun!
