How to Gift Wrap a Ride On Car for Kids

Have you bought an electric ride on car as a gift for your little one, or are you planning to buy one soon?

Well, excellent choice!

But, you’ll probably be wondering how you’re supposed to gift wrap it. Electric ride on cars are bigger (and bulkier) than most of the gifts you’d usually buy for your kids. This means that gift wrapping them can be a bit of a challenge. For instance, you’ll probably need more than one roll of wrapping paper for one of our Disney Ride On Cars.

If you find yourself in this situation, don’t worry because, in this guide, we’ll show you the best ways to wrap up a ride on car so that your kid has the best surprise possible.

So, grab the scissors and the sellotape and let’s get started!

Why give your child the gift of an Electric Ride On car?

Whatever the occasion, we all love to spoil our kids with the most special and fun gifts we can find. We adore seeing the joy on their faces as they open their presents and start playing with them immediately.

Just imagine the look on your child’s face as they unwrap one of our kids’ ride on cars. As soon as it’s opened, they’ll be whizzing around the house and garden in no time.

This is why an electric ride on car is the best gift you can buy for your little one.

The only real question is which one do you choose?

We have a huge range of electric ride on cars, from Audi R8s to Lamborghini Ride On Cars. Whichever one you pick, your child will be over the moon and you’ll get some serious brownie points!

How to gift wrap an Electric Ride On Car

Keep it simple with wrapping paper

Although it can be a little tricky, you can still use wrapping paper for a ride on car. Firstly, you’ll want to find the biggest wrapping paper roll you can and then spread it out on the floor. Place the ride on car on top and start wrapping.

If you only have normal-sized wrapping paper, it’ll take you slightly longer, but it will still work – you’ll just have to use some patchwork skills.

Make sure you choose a fun and exciting design for the wrapping paper and a nice big bow decoration on top that your kid will enjoy!

Use a dazzling cloth

An electric ride on car is a fairly oversized gift, so you may need to get creative.

When people buy real cars as gifts, they often cover them in cloth, which can easily be pulled away for the big reveal.

The same applies to our ride on cars (with less cloth, of course).

To make it even more exciting, find some cloth with a fun design. You could also choose cloth that matches the colour of the ride on car. If you’re gifting one of our pink ride on cars, then cover it in hot pink cloth – and why not add a bow while you’re at it?

This is an easy and fun way to make sure your child has the best experience when opening their present.

Use an oversized gift bag

Did you know that you can buy gift bags big enough for a ride on car?

Well, you can!

These gift bags are available in loads of fun colours, sizes, and designs. You’ll easily be able to find one that your kid will love.

Just make sure the one that you buy is the right size for your gift. If you’ve already bought it, then crack out that tape measure, but if you haven’t bought it yet, then simply just check the dimensions on our site before purchasing.

Also, you’ll need to bear in mind that the bag is unlikely to be able to carry the weight of a ride on car. For example, some of our Fiat 500 ride on cars weigh up to 23 kg. Due to this, it’s best to leave the gift where it is once you’ve placed it in the bag and try not to lift it too much.

Use bin bags

We know what you’re thinking – using bin bags to wrap up a gift doesn’t sound very exciting. But hear us out.

You can use bin bags to disguise the ride on car for the ultimate surprise. Imagine how curious your little one will be when you tell them there’s a present inside that big pile of bin bags in the corner of the room!

You could even attach balloons to the bin bags to pique your child’s curiosity.

If you want to make the grand unveiling more special, then wrap the gift in an Electric Ride On Car cover before you wrap it in bin bags.

That way, your child will remove the bags and still have another layer to peel back before the gift is revealed.

Use a big box

If you have an old box from an appliance store lying around, you can use it when gifting a Ride On Car.

Of course, you need to make sure it’s big enough first.

If it is, then simply remove the top flaps and place it upside down on top of the ride on car. You can then add colourful stickers and designs to it or even have your other kids draw on it.

Use personalised fabric

Another great way to wrap your gift is to use personalised fabric. You can customise this fabric with any design you choose. For instance, it could feature one of your family photos or an image of your child’s favourite cartoon character.

Just like when gift wrapping with cloth, you just need to drape the fabric over the top of the ride on car so that the design is clearly visible.

Picture this: Your child walks into the room. In the centre of the room, something is draped in colourful fabric adorned with an image of Spiderman. They quickly pull back the fabric to reveal a kids’ Bumper Car!

You’ll win the parent or carer of the year award right there!

Utilise the magic of ribbons

How about wrapping up your ride on car in colourful ribbons instead of paper?

You could use a decorative gift ribbon in your child’s favourite colour. Or, you could use lots of different colours of ribbon to create a technicolour wonder!

To do this, unfurl the ribbon and then wrap it around the ride on car in a circular motion until it’s completely covered. Then, tie the ends of the ribbon in a nice bow on top.

How to surprise your child with an Electric Ride On Car

Now you know the best ways to wrap your little one’s ride on car, but how do you create a big surprise? Here are a few ways you can surprise your kid:

Driveway surprise: Leave the ride on car on your driveway next to your cars. This’ll make your kid feel like a real grown-up!
Treasure hunt: Leave objects and clues around the house and garden – you could even create a map. Eventually, the trail will lead to the ride on car.
Santa delivery (for Christmas time): If you have a chimney, leave the gift next to the fireplace. You could even place it inside a big sack so it looks like Santa has just paid a visit.
Nonchalant placement: You could ask your child to help you look for something in the room where your gift is and guide them towards it.

FAQs

Will wrapping paper rip if I use it to gift a ride on car?

As an electric car is quite a big gift, there is a chance that wrapping paper will rip when you try to wrap it up. To avoid this, wrap the gift very gently. You could also buy wrapping paper that is thicker than usual.
