Love the independence

My car loving boy made this while his brother made his pinewood derby. I love how he can be independent other than me reading directions. He feels so good about himself too!

My grandson loved putting the cars together! We had so much fun.

This was a little too difficult for my four year old to complete by himself and I'd say the end result is just fine. No strong opinion one way or the other; after putting the stickers on the cars, he played with them for a little bit, but quickly grew bored. If your kiddo has lots of cars already, I'd recommend you spend your money on a different project that gets more playtime once completed.
