Wood Vehicle Kits from Maple Landmark

by Amy on January 26, 2009

A good part of our Sunday was spent creating these:

We all had such fun with these Made By Me wood vehicle kits by Maple Landmark. Each kit comes with a vehicle body, four wheels, and four axles. These kits are made in the USA from smoothly sanded unfinished pine. All you need to assemble them is a small hammer and some wood glue.

Before assembling them, we dolled them up with a variety of techniques – painting (we used acrylic paints), coloring with markers, adding stickers, and attaching scrapbook paper and clip art with Mod Podge. Here’s a closer look:

Natalie’s race car, Daddy’s vegetable delivery truck, and Natalie’s apple orchard tractor

Delaney’s sea animal tugboat, my groovy Bug, and Delaney’s train engine

As soon as they were dry, the girls grabbed them and headed off to play. Natalie was quite excited that some of her Playmobil people and Calico Critters can fit in the tractor seat.

I think these would be awesome birthday party activities or favors. Also great for rainy days, last minute birthday gifts, and Easter baskets. :)

Happy Playing!
