If I Built A Car…
October 20, 2012 – 11am-12:15pm
What is your idea of the ultimate car? Does it fly? What color is it? Would it have an ice cream machine inside? There is no idea too big or too small! In this fun activity kids will hear a story about a little boy who had his own fun and wacky ideas about what he would do if he built his own car! After the book reading session, kids will see pictures of real wacky car designs that car manufacturers and designers came up with. They will use fun drawing tools such as rulers and protractors to draw and design their own cars. Using colorful markers and colored pencils, kids will use their imaginations to create the ultimate car! Ready to register? Email our Education Department to register!

A car made out of a vegetable? Yes! In the book Paddy’s Racing Potato, Paddy builds his very own car out of a potato and enters a big race. Do you think he wins?
