Ettore's Car

Start your engines with Ettore’s Car, a charming wooden craft kit that invites children to build their very own retro racing car. Inspired by the timeless design of classic Grand Prix cars, this kit encourages patience, focus, and a sense of pride in creating something by hand. Each step of the process helps children explore woodworking and mechanical skills in a fun, hands-on way.

Once assembled, the elastic-powered car can zoom forward, bringing the excitement of movement and a touch of basic physics to the experience. Made from durable birch plywood, this eco-conscious kit includes everything needed — from pre-cut wooden pieces and real tools to clear, illustrated instructions — offering a rewarding one-hour project that sparks curiosity and confidence.
