This craft also functions as a take-home favor. As an activity, let kids paint their own little wooden cars. Do this activity early in the party, and hopefully the cars will be dry by the time you wave goodbye. Let younger kids decorate with markers instead of paint. This idea is from the Growing Up Gardner blog.
