Up-cycling Old Car Toys
Elly, Pocoyo and Pato are in the up cycled race cars ready for their first race.
Sometimes getting toys for that new favourite show that your child is into, is impossible. So why not make it yourself?
I used air-drying clay for this but it dries hard and can break easily so soft clay is better if it's going to be handled roughly by smaller kids.
The Method
It’s pretty straightforward. All you need to do is cover the wheels with tape before beginning so that you don’t get the clay stuck in there. Then just mould the clay, whether air drying or soft clay directly onto the car. Once dry, apply acrylic paint , wait once more for that to dry and voila! Your new toy is ready.
We even made a parking garage out of boxes right outside their house.

Go Pocoyo
The race is beginning
Go Pocoyo Gazelle is first and she’s winning
Go Pocoyo but not too fast
Go race the car or you’ll come in last
With this pato mobile
Pato’s really flying
Lula’s right behind him because she’s really trying
She started late because she overslept
But Tweety bird is racing because she never gives up
Go Go Go
Go to the race
Go go go
Pickup the pace
Go go go
Go to the race
One two three Go!
In his red car
Pocoyo goes faster
He wants to come in first
and be the winner
They all play together
and race against each other
Winning’s not important
Being friends is all that matters
Go GO GO
Go to the race
Go go go
Pickup the pace
Go go go
Go to the race
One two three go!
The mechanics are tuning up the race cars!
Meanwhile Pato seems to be having trouble
They’re off!
Go Pocoyo
The race is beginning
Go Pocoyo Gazelle is first and she’s winning
Go Pocoyo but not too fast
Go race the car or you’ll come in last
Go GO GO
Go to the race
Go go go
Pickup the pace
Go go go
Go to the race
One two three go!
GO GO GO
Go to the race
Go go go
Pickup the pace
Go go go
Go to the race
One two three go!
Attention
Just before reaching the finishing line
The racers have run out of gas
How exciting
A race has never been this close
But the racers have decided to cross the finishing line together
It’s a marvelous time!
Bravo for raging drivers
Hurray for a marvelous race!
