First things first, think of how many party guests you wish to accommodate. It would be on the scale of a standard car. Just because you would like to accommodate your many friends, you can not go on making compartments after compartments. Other accessories need to be fitted into their proper place. The articles required are: Pick up any boxes, hard card-board boxes, TV-computer cartons or any other box. Take paper plates, plastic plates and a good quality spray paint; construction or bond paper in different colors, strong ribbon; stapler and gum; brads fasteners; craft knife, blade, scissor, glue and tape, markers, foam letters and numbers to decorate. As the assembly operation of the car is in progress, you may have some new ideas for enhancing its beauty. Think well and go ahead! The plastic plates are meant to serve as wheels. Choose your color. Do not hesitate to ape the latest model of the race car. Let the wheels turn properly. The other plate will be your steering wheel, unless you have better ideas. Cut two small circles for headlights and tail lights. When your car is ready to roll out of the assembly lines, all that is necessary is to make the rail tracks. Track made out of old tyres looks good and they are durable. You can achieve perfection in this area, by trial and error method.

Of course, it was also a time when most parents and guardians did not ask their kids what they wanted. They usually went by your gender. Obviously if you were a boy, you got the toy cars, trucks, video games, and other things that were capable of making noise and the girls got the quiet or talking dolls, doll houses, and tea sets. And there was nothing wrong with that. Most parents who bought their kids the gender related toys just wanted their girls to remain on the feminine path and the boys on the masculine one. Technology and the times have managed to change all that. Thank goodness!

For some girls like and have liked the high tech, noisy toys too. And it is refreshing to note that gone are the days when the greatest misconception about girls used to be that all of them wanted to play dress up, did not care too much about sports, and should be quietly tucked away in some corner of the playroom, toying around with their dolls.
