Rubber Band Car

Something different than the balloons for grip.

My granddaughter loved this car; however it didn't take but a few times of using it that the rubber band around the wheel broke.  There is one extra balloon in the crate but I'm thinking that won't be enough as she uses it.  Either enclose more than one extra balloon or find a stronger material to put around the wheel to give the car trackshun. 

It was an easy and quick project to put together.  Then it was time to race the car with a robot ?.  It was lots of fun.
