Lila and Ben like to play with their vehicles. They have cars, trucks, buses and bikes. They make noises and pretend to drive them on the floor.
One day, they find a big box in the garage. It is empty and has a hole on one side. Lila has an idea.
"Let's make a vehicle with the box!" she says to Ben. "We can cut out windows and wheels and paint it."
Ben agrees. They get scissors, paper, glue and paint. They work hard and have fun. They cut out four circles for wheels and glue them to the bottom of the box. They cut out two squares for windows and glue them to the sides of the box. They paint the box red and blue and write "Lila and Ben's vehicle" on it.
They are very proud of their vehicle. They take turns to sit inside and steer with a paper plate. They make noises and pretend to drive around the garage.
"Beep beep! Watch out!" Lila says as she turns left.
"Vroom vroom! I'm going fast!" Ben says as he turns right.
They are having so much fun that they don't notice their mom coming into the garage. She sees them and smiles.
"Wow, what a nice vehicle you made!" she says. "Can I see it?"
Lila and Ben are happy to show their mom their vehicle. They tell her how they made it and what they can do with it.
"That's very creative and clever!" mom says. "But you have to be careful when you play with scissors and paint. They can be dangerous if you don't use them right."
Lila and Ben nod. They know mom is right. They say sorry and promise to be careful next time.
Mom hugs them and says she loves them. She says they can keep their vehicle in the garage and play with it whenever they want.
Lila and Ben are very happy. They thank mom and give her a kiss. They love their vehicle and their mom. They are the best.
