KS1 – Designing and Making Toy Cars

In KS1, we have been designing and making our own toy cars. The purpose was to design and make a functional and appealing toy car which would carry a Lego figure. Our toy cars had to have a chassis, four wheels, two axles and a body. We used card, sellotape, glue, paper, cardboard or wooden wheels and dowels. Once they were made, we tested out our cars to see if they would roll along a long table without the Lego figure falling out. Afterwards, we evaluated our toy cars and discussed what changes we would make if we did it again.
