Folding a paper race car is an exciting origami project. This Japanese art of folding fascinates children with its transformation of flat paper into three-dimensional figures. Origami promotes fine motor skills, concentration, and spatial thinking. Our guide is designed to be child-friendly - with videos and step-by-step photos. What may seem complicated at first becomes achievable with some practice.

The folded race car captivates with its dynamic shape. Children can organize races or build their own race track with it. Folding trains patience and teaches an important lesson: care is more important than speed. In origami, we practice developing new skills and working diligently.

Step 1: Prepare the race car. Fold the A4 sheet lengthwise in half. Then fold each corner in succession to obtain clean 45-degree folding lines.

Step 2: Shape the basic form. The preparation is complete. Now fold the edges between your folding lines inwards. Then fold the two long side edges towards the center.

Step 3: Complete the race car. Almost done! Make 2 folds on the wings on one side. Then insert one side into the other. Don't forget to bend the spoiler and wings upwards. You've actually built a race car, not an airplane 😉

The special charm of this race car lies in its simple construction. My ten-year-old son learned to fold it in just 10 minutes, and the result is impressive. Children are particularly excited about this origami race car. You can give the car a personal touch with felt-tip pens or colored pencils - draw racing stripes, race numbers, or your own racing team logo on it.
