Instructions
  1. Cut sections of straight track from each box by drawing a line all the way around the box 1/2 inch up from the bottom. Cut along the line, then snip away the 1/2-inch walls on the narrowest ends.

  2. Cut additional pieces from the sides of the box. Use the remaining scraps to cut out corners and guardrails. For a curve, cut out a pie-slice-shaped piece of cardboard and a narrow guardrail.

  3. For roadside realism, create an overpass by cutting an archway through a tea box or use a few boxes to build a gas station.

  4. Lay out the track any way you like, using tape to hold the sections in place where needed.
