Are you looking for a fun and easy outdoor art activity for your kids? If so, I got you! Your kids are going to have so much fun with this colorful painting with cars activity!

My toddler loves cars, trucks and tractors. You can give anything with wheels and he’ll usually be entertained for awhile. He also enjoys painting so this project was the perfect activity for him! We had so much fun with this action packed art activity. With supplies you likely  already have at home, it makes for a cheap and easy fun project.  The best part is you can take it outside and not have to worry about the paint getting all over the house!!

Painting with cars is a fun and easy art activity your kids can do outside. All you need is some paint, paper and toy cars and you are all set. Your kids will absolutely love creating and making their own little master piece.

Supply List

  • Washable Paint
  • Poster board or cardboard
  • Toy Cars/Trucks
  • Duct tape (optional)

Kids painting with cars is a playful way for your children to have fun creating art while also playing with their cars. You can do this activity inside with taping the poster board to a table inside or even better if the weather is nice so you can move it outside. Your kids are going to love this activity!

How to paint using cars:

  1. Tape down poster board to prevent it from sliding around as the kids play with their cars. We did this activity outside so I taped it to the concrete, but if you’re doing it inside you can tape it down to a table.
  2. Place several dots of paint onto the poster board. Use as many colors as you like! The more variety, the better.
  3. Let the kids have fun driving the cars in and around through the paint.
Fun Tip: If you want to create some wall art, use their favorite colors or the theme colors used in their rooms. When they’re finished, you can hang up the poster or even frame it. This will make them feel like a real artist!

If your kids like to paint and play with toy cars, they will absolutely love this painting with cars activity. It is a quick and easy activity which only requires a few supplies: paint, poster board, and toy cars or trucks.

Worried about how you’re going to clean all those cars when the kids are done? No worries! That’s part of the fun. Get a plastic tub or large bowl, then fill it up with soap and water. Get a sponge and BOOM! You have just created another fun activity to keep the kids busy outside. Their very own car washing station.

When the weather is nice, we try to be outside as much as possible, especially before the hot summer heat gets here.  When I came across this painting with cars activity I was like…. YESSS!! We are going to try that but we are going to move it outside so the kids can have more fun and not worry about the mess. It was such a great way to spend time outdoors, and best of all it makes for an easy clean up. This activity was so simple it’s now in my rotation for kids activities every summer!
