Modern Kids’ Ride-on Toy

Made by Joel is a blog that documents artist and designer Joel Henriques’ creations for his kids. I like his “modern kids’ ride on toy” that he made out of poplar wood and wheels from a hardware store. The overall construction is attractive, but the red stripes are what make Joel’s creation so fun, because it’s a sly nod at the classic red wagon.
