A car!
When I was in primary, or the children's group at church, we all brought our own cardboard cars to the church and had a drive-in movie. I remember playing with those cars for ages afterwards. My husband had to make cardboard cars for scouts and they had relay races in their cars (cut a hole in the bottom and hold the box up to run with it around your waist). So with fond reminiscing and a hope I didn't just destroy the box before making it anything like a car I set out with a box cutter...
Just the effort was worth it because K would periodically exclaim "I like my car Mommy!"
After cutting the flaps off the top I cut doors in the sides and windows in the front and backs.
Using the flaps from the top I cut a steering wheel and 4 wheels. K got to help paint the wheels.
I just attached the steering wheel using a pen cap which allows it to turn quite effectively.
I cut out colored circles for the lights and made a little license plate for the back. K got to help glue them on and was the one insisting we have certain colored lights, which were right, and I was so impressed with his understanding of the lights on cars. When I asked him where he was driving, he told me the library and the store. That's my boy!
