Paper cars are a great way to keep kids entertained and active on a rainy day. Pull out the crayons and scissors and watch the fun come alive in your kids.

      Colored Cardstock

      Print out your template on card stock. Card stock is strong and sturdy compared to regular print paper. It will fold better and hold up to your kids' active play longer.
