My first job out of college was with Amerada Hess and we got one of the trucks each year for Christmas. It was a fun gift especially given how very formal the company was. :).

The artwork made me think of a project we do in the library sometimes, if our theme is cars or transportation or we want to explore creating with unexpected tools. We set out shallow paper plates with a little paint and toy car in each color of paint. The kids "paint" with the cars by dipping the car wheels in the paint and then driving them over their paper. If you use complementary colors they will mix nicely and it's a really cool project. We only use cheap plastic cars we pick up at the dollar store and I imagine you could find some neat stuff at the thrift store that you might not feel too bad about dipping into paint. <br />~LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
