Transforming a Little Tikes car through the process of upcycling opens up a world of creative possibilities.

Little Tikes cars can be purchased really cheaply secondhand so the initial outlay is not a lot.

By repurposing an old toy, you not only contribute to sustainable practices but also unleash your imagination in giving the toy a new lease on life.
