Not only can drawing buy you some peace and engage your kids, but if you happen to pull the ‘design your dream car’ card out of the pile then your drawing could enter Toyota’s Dream Car competition.
Toyota’s Dream Car competition runs each year and kids from all over the world can enter simply by drawing their dream car.
Morgan’s dream car (pictured above) is called the ‘Fireball’ and has fire that comes out the back, and a rocket booster, and an automatic parachute sprinkler system in case he accidentally causes a bush fire!

My dream car would possibly look like one of those old vintage classics with added modern features. If I had my oldest draw her ideal car it would be floor pink and yellow with feathers and glitter. LOL
Looks like a fun game, we’ll have to try it out! Great competition too
Can I just say how much I love the fact that he thought to include a sprinkler system in case he accidentally causes a bush fire? Such the Aussie lad! What a great comp, I\’m totally going to ask my daughter if she wants to enter! They need a fourth category so mum\’s can enter too! (My car would have self-cleaning car seats in the back….)
I think it comes from growing up in an bushfire risk area, and having a fire come very close to our house a few years back…. so he’s VERY aware of fire risk! LOL
You make the best printables!!!
My dream car is driverless, it’s more like a cabin as the passéngers face each other. The chairs are massaging chairs and there is a games table in the middle so we can play Uno.
Oh man how awesome would that be!!!
This is great! I am going to give it a try. Sharing as well!
Wow I LOVE these drawing prompts and this would be an excellent competition for my son!! Will be telling him about it tomorrow!! (he would be absolutely thrilled to hear the prize!! hehe good motivation)
How fun!
My dream car would definitely fly – Jetson style! Remember that show!?
That would be cool!
