Spudwood Derby Activity

Submitted by Jenny Smith on Sat, 10/03/2009 - 3:07pm

Every year, Memphis singles enjoy their annual Spudwood Derby. After a great baked potato bar, singles are separated into teams that make a "spudwood" derby car out of a raw potato. Using a pinewood derby track, toothpicks, paring knives, and a set of pinewood derby tires, each team races in several heats to get bragging rights for the next year.

This could be a fun combined activity, singles activity, or ward activity!

Just type "pinewood derby wheels" into Google and you'll find tons of sources. A set of 4 wheels costs around $3.00.

I've ordered other parts from this site before

They ship fast.

Hope that helps!
