On my travels recently I have had a lot of car related fun, including getting an up close look at rare corvettes and going to my first car race. Through these trips I’ve discovered the heart pounding thrill of fast cars and car racing. I wanted to share that excitement with my boys so I created a fun racetrack craft to make with them that they could incorporate into their play and get them ready for the next big race day.
We enjoy going outside on nice days and one of the things the boys like to do is bring out the chalk, cars and their car sets and build a town. They use the chalk to make roads and parking spots and enjoy pretending with their vehicles. I thought a finish line for a racetrack would be the perfect addition to their play so they could pretend to be a famous race car driver like Ty Dillion.
My kids love when mommy and daddy play toys with them and they always ask us to play. I love to do so but sometimes I can’t stop thinking about the pain that will accompany sitting on the ground (and the pain trying to get up as well). I typically have joint pain on a daily basis but sitting for long periods of time makes things worse, especially in my knees. Thankfully I’ve discovered that Advil has a new fast release formula that goes to work within minutes of taking it. Fast acting Advil Film-Coated leverages the rapid absorption properties of ibuprofen sodium, now available for the first time in the US.* So now when the kids ask me to go outside and play I can take a couple Advil Film-Coated tablets and head outside with them.
Below are the directions for the paper weaving craft we made. We created a finish line for our car race but you could use the whole piece of paper and make a race flag if you wanted to instead. Weaving is a fun craft that’s great for practicing fine motor skills and makes the perfect racing checkerboard design.
The kids had a great time racing cars and playing with their playsets and the tunnel I “built” them. They were so happy that mommy was down on the ground playing with them. To us parents it might seem like something small, but when parents take the time to get down and play with their kids, doing something that interests them, that means so much to our children. Advil’s Film-Coated product with rapid release will help you enjoy the playtime as much as the kids do. This Advil is formulated with a unique Advil Ion Core Technology and an ultra thin shell to absorb quickly – in fact nothing is proven to work faster.*
So go ahead… crawl around on the ground racing toy cars, color with chalk, join in your child’s world and see the joy in their eyes. Don’t let aches and pains slow you down or stop you from spending time playing with your kids!

This is such a cute craft that would keep my kids busy for a while. I need to get some construction paper so they can weave these mats to race! #client
My son would absolutely love doing something like this. He loves his cars and he loves to race them! I think my child would get along well with yours LOL.
That is such a great idea. My girls love racing cars. I’m sure this would be a huge hit with them too.
Our house is always stocked up on Advil. No choice with a house full of boys. My head already hurts thinking of summer vacation.
What a cute idea. I know my kids would love if I set up a race day for them. Knowing them, they would start taking bets on who would win, LOL
That is so smart! As many times as I’ve weaved paper, I never thought to use it this way!
This race track looks awesome! My cousins would adore this!
I always have Advil in my bag. You never know when you will need it. This is a great craft to do with my friends little ones.
I am always looking for new craft ideas to do with the kids. I will have to get the supplies I need to make this on the weekend.
What a fun race craft! My nephews would LOVE this! I have degenerative joint and disc disease in my neck and I SWEAR by Advil. It’s the only way I can make it through my work day!
That’s a really nice finish line you made, the weaving certainly adds a very realistic pattern to it. And its so simple too, what a great craft
It’s the simple things in life that bring the biggest pleasure. Children are such good examples of having a blast with an awesome something mom made!
