The Boy Scouts compete in the Pinewood Derby every year. Our local Boy Scouts graciously allowed our girls to hold their own Powder Puff Derby on their track. We started with the official Pinewood Derby car kit. Andie and Mark (mainly Mark) worked on the design. Once the design was cut, Andie had to sand, paint, and design her car. We were as hands-off as possible.
The final car had a coat of glitter modge podge for fanciness.
Racing Day!

During the race the girls lined up along the track and waited for their race. Each car races 4 times, and they rotate to each track. The best average time out of the four races is the winner. Although they were not keeping score, and no trophies were given, Andra's car did win her race.
After the race the girls ate cupcakes and got their Powder Puff participation patches.
Here is a video of Andie's car winning one of the races.

However, she initially picked out an aftershave for me. I am glad Mark at least steered her toward the section for women. I also received Bonnie Bell lip gloss in a mocha flavor, and "Sparked" nail color by Wet n Wild. It was fun to open such unexpected gifts.
