Kids Corner: Cloud Car Starter by Sarah

Cloud Car Starter

I made this contraption to make a Care Bear cloud car work. Even though Care Bears are not real, this would help them a lot. Sometimes their cloud cars don't work. This is how it works.

First, a Care Bear goes down the rainbow slide. There is a lever with a Care Bear on one side at the bottom. As the first Care Bear hits one side, the other Care Bear goes flying from the other side. He goes over the rainbow slide. Then, he lands in a bowl of water. Next, the water splashes on a guinea pig. The guinea pig is startled and he starts running. He makes energy, which goes to the cloud car through wires.

So, if the Care Bears ever have a car that just won't work, they should use this. I think they would love it!
