We make a little suitcase to play with. Today's suitcase is for a boy who loves cars which is why we create a landscape in it in which cars can drive. We start by drawing and cutting all parts, then we can glue it together. You can also download and print the individual parts on the PDF.


With some regularity Lidl offers blocks with colored paper and cardboard for a small price, we have a lot of fun with those!
