Wired for Fun

Wire cars are popular toys in Southern Africa. They're often made by kids, who use recycled materials like metal wires for the car's body, and round things like bottle caps for the wheels. Kids create cars that are all different shapes, sizes, and colors. Click the image below to see kids in South Africa building some of these toys.
