Cardstock Tunnels

I love how these Cardstock Tunnels came out! And you would never know they’re my leftover and used cardstock from past crafts, would you?

They’re so simple to make too, you’ll love it!

For this activity you’ll need cardstock. Maybe you have a ton leftover like I did, even if they have parts of it cut and such, they can STILL be used. You’ll also need scotch tape to secure the tunnels and a bunch of Hot wheels cars. My son has an enormous collections and absolutely loves them!

When I was done setting these up (without kids help) I brought my son into the room after his nap and his reaction was priceless! He opened his mouth with a little precious “woahh!”, a smile and a glance at me, then the table with tunnels, then me again. I starting chuckling, because I was thinking inside how simple-looking it was, how easy it was to make and honestly, thankful for this leftover cardstock I’ve had!

Materials:

–Colored Cardstock

–Scotch tape

–Hot Wheels cars (I’ve linked some fun ones! But small trains, trucks work too!)

Instructions:

Instructions couldn’t be easier! Find a table where you can easily tape your tunnels to (floor works too!). Now take your cardstock, trim into a rectangle/square if need to. Fold the sides length wise, about half inch. Tape one side down using the flap you’ve created, now tape the other side creating a tunnel. Viola, you’ve made a tunnel! Try making the tunnels in different colors, lengths and sizes.

P.S.- Now Mama, you might get carried away building a cardstock world here. I did. Tunnels, roads, bridges…but you don’t have too. I photographed my cheesy construction below for you.
