How about making a train, car or wagon out of paper towel tubes. You could cut them up and glue the pieces together and even use cardboard ( or a kid size shoe box) to cut out other pieces that you may need. The paint it. It would even be small enough for the Littles to actually use.

How about a boat out of a cardboard milk container, or I once made a bus out of an egg carton (covered in tissue paper), attached wheels (film containers attached to a wooden skewer), with accessories added, or I also built a car out of cardboard (glued together to make the frame), film containers for the wheels, toothpick and cardboard for the steering wheel, and cardboard (covered with tissue) for the seat.

Good luck and welcome to the boards :)
